If you, while not wearing a tinfoil hat, told me four months ago that Kermit Davis would have Ole Miss in the NCAA Tournament in his first year as head coach, I would’ve slightly lowered my head, peered over the top of my imaginary bifocals and given you a peak confused dad “Do What Now?”
The Rebels have shattered expectations in Year 1. But this season isn’t just successful relative to the set of lowly expectations it opened with. Davis has coached Ole Miss to one of its best statistical campaigns in over a decade.
