Coach Kermit Davis had to be ecstatic to see the latest NCAA Evaluation or NET rankings on Monday morning.
Ole Miss took a significant jump after downing Vandy on the road, jumping from a bubble-tastic 46th to a very respectable 35th. It’s clear that road wins in conference against decent opponents pay off in a big way with this new metric.
Ole Miss’ 10-point win over Vanderbilt on Saturday got them into the tournament conversation much more seriously than any other win so far this season. The opportunity will be even bigger this week, when the Rebels face ranked Auburn and Mississippi State teams.
