If Ole Miss basketball is a metaphor for anything this season, it’s a lot like learning how to drive for the first time.
Things are exciting at the start, a new beginning, then you realize ‘wow, this truck is really moving (4-0 start), and I’m about to get on the highway.’ That highway was the Alabama Crimson Tide, and oh boy, was that a wake-up call.
The other obstacle in your quest to learn to drive is over-confidence. You’ve got this, clicking off miles (4-game win streak in February), and not a worry in the world as you barrel down the interstate toward a night out with friends (NCAA Tournament).
