ESPN released their complete ranking of all 351 college basketball teams on Thursday, and Ole Miss sits at No. 59, just behind Florida State and just ahead of Temple. That’s some pretty good company to find yourself in before a single second of basketball has been played this season.
But with the regular season beginning just eight days from now, it’s a good time to sit down and think about how things might shake out. Andy Kennedy’s men are experienced — especially among his guard set — but lacking in size. The largest question mark in fact involves the five spot, which will probably be mainly occupied by Dominik Olejniczik, a sophomore transfer from Drake.
