Patience is a virtue, and Andy Kennedy is having to spend it on his 2016-2017 basketball team. The Rebels opened the year 2-0 with a couple of tight wins over Tennessee-Martin and UMass, in which they had a sluggish start and were able to overcome it. On Wednesday night against Middle Tennesee, the 48-19 halftime hole the Rebels put themselves in was too large to climb out of.
His group has a lot of new faces this season, more so than usual of a Kennedy, which usually has some turnover. But not this much. They’ve played well in spots.
