The Ole Miss Rebels (12-8) will tip off against the No. 4 Baylor Bears (19-1) at The Pavilion Saturday. Baylor, led by Johnathan Motley, a 6-foot-9-inch power forward, represents a serious challenge for head coach Andy Kennedy and his players.
“They’re an outstanding team and a legit final four contender,” Kennedy said. “We’re just trying to manage games as best we can and give ourselves a chance to win.”
With Wednesday’s 80-76 loss to Texas A&M still fresh in their minds, the Rebels are looking to bounce back and maintain their tournament aspirations. Kennedy does not plan on making any special adjustments to his team ahead of Saturday’s game.
