Ole Miss fans were undoubtedly a little shocked by a 16-point win over Florida earlier this week to notch the program’s second SEC win this season.
The Rebels (10-9, 2-5 SEC) were without leading scorer Jarkel Joiner, and the team seemed to have lost any positive momentum after beating Mississippi State in the second SEC game of the season on Jan. 8, dropping four straight conference games. Things were looking bleak to say the least, and the staff at Red Cup were just waiting for a news dump about Kermit Davis’ future.
Somehow though, this team cobbled together a win, and while it doesn’t fix the season, it has to give fans some about of confidence the Rebels can win some more home games down the stretch.
