Ole Miss basketball (20-11, 10-8) has been a pleasant surprise for Rebels fans this season. The Rebels are coming off a regular season ending road win over Mizzou which gave the Rebels the magical twentieth win and set them up for selection into the NCAA Tourney. After being selected in the preseason to finish last in the SEC the 2018-2019 season has been special to say the least.
Tuesday the SEC offices announced Kermit Davis had been named the SEC Coach of the Year for his first season success in Oxford. Coach Davis who was formerly head coach at Middle Tennessee State accepted the vacant position left open by former Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy.
