Ole Miss basketball coach Kermit Davis earned his 500th win as a coach when the Rebels defeated South Carolina 84-70 in Oxford on Wednesday. Ole Miss has had little to celebrate during this disappointing season, but the milestone win could signal Davis’ potential to get the program back on track.
The victory puts the Mississippi native at a 31-24 record at Ole Miss after a surprisingly successful first year and a disappointing second.
“I couldn’t have done it at a better place. I’ve coached a lot of places but to do it at home, in Mississippi… to be able to coach at Ole Miss and do that,” Davis said after the game on Wednesday.
