The Final Chapter

The Rebels just did not have it in them as they lost to Alabama today 69-52. The score does not reflect the game though. The Rebels played a good first half and went into the locker room down six at half. It was really alot closer at the half. In the second half, same Ole Miss story, they just could not find their shot. The Rebels were once again led by Tommie Eddie with 19 points. Earnest Shelton shot light out for the Tide with 8 three point baskets. This Alabama team is pretty good and have a legitimate shot at winning this tournament and making a run in the NCAA. Although, I hope they do not. This ends the season for the Rebels with their third straight losing record of 14-17. Although not much was expected of this season, the big disapointment for the Rebels was the fact they were so close in so many games. They just could not find a way to win a game. This team fought hard but had absolutely very little talent. There are questions going in to next season as to how the Rebels will be with new talent and what coaches will be here to coach them. One thing is for sure Rod Barnes will be back. As another chapter in this book closes, another Ole Miss major spoints program ends with a losing record. Is baseball the answer, let's hope so.
