One of the biggest pleasant surprises of the 2018-19 college hoops season was Ole Miss basketball, who went from 12-20 the year prior to 20-13 and an NCAA Tournament berth. The Rebels were good enough to make the Big Dance as a No. 9 seed before falling to Oklahoma in the Round of 64.
It was a great start to the Kermit Davis era at Ole Miss, surpassing all first-year expectations. But what should those expectations be for this upcoming season? One important aspect will be how the roster looks. Terence Davis has graduated and two other key players (Devontae Shuler and Breein Tyree) have submitted their names for the 2019 NBA Draft.
