The Rebels currently sit at 6-3, with all three losses coming at the hands of teams ranging from respectable to decidedly good. It’s tempting to shrug off the season’s start as on par with whatever we’ve decided to be the standard for Ole Miss basketball. However, it’s not encouraging to see that they’re last among SEC teams in average point differential (+1.0).
It’s generally accepted by those paying attention that Andy Kennedy has a way of delivering teams that are greater than the sum of their parts, but there’s still a process for effectively deploying talent that hasn’t quite come to fruition this season.
