This was a tough matchup for coach Kermit Davis and Ole Miss basketball and despite coming away with a loss it was a good measurement of where the team is at. This team is young and have to have time to mesh and learn the Davis system. It’s coming and they will be better. Ole Miss is back in action Thursday night as they stay in Ottawa to face The University of Ottawa. Good luck to coach Davis and the Rebels! Hotty Toddy!
