We open up against Alcorn State. Women play at 5:00 and men play at 8:00.
Anyone have any idea if we'll actually be good this year?

I don’t see any reason to believe men’s basketball is going to be any good

So, I watched some of the game last night and....ugh. This surely has to be Kermit's last season. I'm sure he's a good guy, but we will never compete for anything with him as the head coach. That style of play is way outdated and won't work. All of that money spent on the Pavilion and zero commitment to actually winning.

Wait, I thought if you built a shiny new building you would be instantly converted into a top notch team and recruits would be knocking down the doors to get there!!!!
Kermit needs to go. There is a reason he has not coached big league play most of his career, and unfortunately, Ole Miss fans are discovering this reason.
