Well, things have gotten a lot more interesting for Ole Miss hoops over the past week and a half. The Rebels put themselves squarely back into the NCAA Tournament conversation by beating A&M, Georgia and Auburn.
They’ve done it in many different ways, effectively changing defensive gameplans for each opponent to neutralize what those teams do best. Against Auburn, they forced three-point shooters further back (Kermit Davis told his team to “keep your heels in front of the arc”), keeping the Tigers off balance from the perimeter.
Now the focus shifts to a home game against Missouri.
