The long-awaited Kermit Davis era of Ole Miss basketball has finally begun. Saturday in Oxford in The Pavilion the Ole Miss Rebels (1-0) opened their regular season against Western Michigan (1-1) and the Rebels began the Davis era strong. The Rebels defeated the Broncos 90-64 in the season opener which kicked off the 2018-2019 season. This game follows an exhibition game which the Rebels played the previous week which led to a 101-52 win over Fayetteville State.
Ole Miss basketball fans have become disappointed over the past few years with the program, but rest assured this is a much better basketball team than what we have become accustomed to in Oxford.
