Any loss at the SEC Tournament would have put an immediate and emphatic end to lingering NCAA Tourney hopes harbored by the Ole Miss hoops team, which probably needed to drive the distance in Nashville in order to dance for a second year in a row. But after Andy Kennedy's team took the very first exit, some folks are questioning whether the Rebs will even make it into the NIT.
For Ole Miss not to make the consolation tournament would be an injustice to SEC hoops fans everywhere—not because anyone wants to watch AK cycle helplessly through defensive alignments or Anthony Perez put perfectly good size and talent to waste, but because we all deserve to see more Stefan Moody.
