Andy Kennedy didn't pull any punches in his post-game press conference about the performance of his Ole Miss Rebels, who dug themselves a 29-point halftime hole they couldn’t climb out of against Middle Tennessee State. A typically candid AK called the first 20 minutes of basketball “unacceptable.”
"We've got to bow up, and we've got to fight," Kennedy said. "Two kinds of people in this world, fighters and flyers. I'm a fighter... This team's going to fight."
The encouraging thing about Wednesday night’s home loss is that the team indeed fought back in the second half of its eventual 77-62 loss.
