Ole Miss basketball took another step toward a new era on Monday as it held its first official practice and media day.
Head coach Kermit Davis was eager to get started as the season nears. At media day, Davis reflected on how opening days have changed since he began coaching.
“This is my 37th year in college basketball,” Davis said. “Opening practice years and years ago was a lot different than it is today. Now, we’ve had our team since June, and we had 10 practices (in Canada). You’ve been able to work with your guys, which makes it better because you can go for shorter periods of time when (opening practice) starts.
