Ole Miss hoops tests its chops against Butler in Indianapolis on Friday

Rebek hoops head to Indianapolis Friday night for a big early season matchup against the Butler Bulldogs. This should give Kermit Davis a chance to evaluate his squad against a team that’s well coached and experienced.

If the Rebels win or hang tough, there’s reason to believe some positive momentum could start building up this season. If they get blown out, Davis can use it as an opportunity to harp on players who might still be falling into the same traps they did last season under Andy Kennedy. Either way, there’s capital V Value in a game like this, especially come tournament time.
