Yesterday was Selection Sunday and suffice to say, it wasn’t a positive day for Ole Miss basketball. No, the Rebels were not snubbed for a NCAA Tournament bid like Monmouth or Saint Mary’s, but following a 20-12(10-8) campaign, it was notable they were also left out as an at-large for a National Invitation Tournament bid.
Despite the eighth 20-win season in his 10th season at Ole Miss, Andy Kennedy and his team fell short, in large part due to a weak out-of-conference schedule. The inability to win on the road was also a detractor as they were 6-7 at opposing venues and 2-3 on neutral courts.
