Of all the coliseums in the world, the Mississippi Coliseum, much to my protests, wouldn’t crack the top 25,000 in the AP World Coliseum Poll, but on Wednesday night, it found itself ranked number one in places Ole Miss was currently playing basketball. Because the BasketRebs whipped off a 69-47 W against a directional Louisiana club.
It’s unlikely the Rebels’ very nice (NICE) 69-47 win over Southeastern Louisiana will leave a lasting impression on par with the time Garth Brooks, at the peak of his powers, rolled into the Coliseum for three consecutive nights of shows in 1996 as part of a world tour that lasted two and a half years (!
