The Rebels looked solid in their 70-62 win against Kentucky on Tuesday night. Still, the offense wasn’t amazing, and the defense was stiff, allowing Kentucky to hang around until the end. This is just what this team is. Defense first, offense second and hope that shooting is slightly above average. Anything better would have been achieving the near impossible for this team, and anything less would have been getting blown out.
However, this is March, and that means at one point this week you were probably trying to calculate if the team can somehow go dancing into the NCAA tournament this year.
