Is Ole Miss basketball avoiding the Tad Pad in its final season?

With the Rebel roundballers set to switch over to the new Pavilion in time for SEC play in 2015-16, they've scheduled eight of their 13 non-con games away from the Tad Pool.

FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION TO ALL OLE MISS STUDENTS: This coming season, the Ole Miss men's basketball team will play their last ever five or so games in the C.M. Tad Smith Coliseum. The Tad Pad has hosted Rebel basketball since 1966 -- then Rebel Coliseum -- and you should become a part of leaky, failed-lighting history.

Last week, the Basketbears announced their non-conference schedule for 2015-16, and Andy Kennedy's rambling band will play a full eight of their first 13 non-conference matchups away from Oxford.
