Following last Thursday’s drubbing at the hands of Kentucky in Oxford, the Ole Miss hoopmen get a double dose of road games this week in Gainesville and Auburn. The Rebs took an ice-cold gut check to commence SEC play this year, and getting the No. 25 Gators in a newly revamped O’Connell Center presents a formidable, if winnable, opportunity.
What will be interesting to watch as the season plays out is something Andy Kennedy touched on in his postgame presser after the Kentucky debacle.
People’ll say “maybe was the game too big?” That’s a poor indictment on us, but I hope not.
