It’s been almost a week since eight Ole Miss men’s basketball players, led by Devontae Shuler, knelt during the national anthem before the team’s game against Georgia.

Before the team’s first game since the players’ protest last Saturday, the entire Ole Miss roster stood for the anthem.

Following Ole Miss’s 73-71 loss to Tennessee on Wednesday night, head coach Kermit Davis, along with senior Terence Davis, spoke out about the players’ on-court protest during the national anthem last weekend.

It doesn’t seem likely that any players on the team will kneel during the anthem again.

“It was just a one-day thing to me,” Terence Davis said.
