Another Chapter Closed

The Ole Miss Rebels(13-15, 4-11) lost to LSU(18-8, 11-4) closing another chapter in this long season of basketball. It was the final home game for the Rebels who lost 58-53. The Rebels hung around for most of the game, as LSU did not play very well. Marvin Moore led the Rebels once again with 15 points. Ed Glass had a chance to get us two points closer to a tie when he was sent to the free throw line after an intentional foul. But like all previous games this year, the Rebels could not convert at the free throw line. The Tigers were led by Darrel Mitchell with 15 points. I really like Coach John Brady and the way he works during a basketball game. Anyways the Rebels play their last regular season game at South Carolina on Sunday. This loss basically knocked whatever chance the Rebels had of playing in the NIT. It also locked the Rebels in as the 5-seed in the West and will play the first game of the SEC Tournament next week in Atlanta
