Georgia dropped the Rebels in both of their meetings last year: 69-64 in January and then 76-72 in late February. That latter loss contributed to a late-season Ole Miss tailspin that still somehow ended in a ticket to the Big Dance, but not before head-shaking losses to LSU, Vanderbilt and -- ridiculously -- South Carolina in the SEC Tournament (remember that one?).
But, new year, new arena and new contract for Andy Kennedy, who broke the champagne on The Pavilion with a come-from-behind, 74-66 over Avery Johnson's Crimson Tide on Thursday night.
