Rebel's Survive

In a game that both teams played in spurts, Ole Miss defeated South Carolina 53-52 to advance to the second round of the SEC Tournament. The Rebels actually looked pretty good at some points during the game. It was one of the craziest endings in a basketball game that I have ever seen. The Gamecocks had a three point reversed that would have tied the game, due to the shooter's foot being on the line. Thank God for instant replay. Tommie Eddie scored 17 points to lead the Rebels. Glass also played well for Ole Miss(no Gerald Glass did not come back and play). Ed Glass, a senior in his third start for the Rebels, contributed 15 points. The Rebels did not shoot well from the free throw line at all. The free-throw shooting of the Rebels almost lost the game for them. The Rebels will advance to play Western Division leader Alabama tomorrow. Alabama is a really good team. The Rebels led them for the majority of the contest in Oxford, before suffering a loss. Hopefully Barnes will convince the Rebels they can play with this team. If Marvin Moore, Justin Johnson, and Londrick Nolen contribute more than they did today, the Rebels will have a chance. Do not count this team out just yet, let's have some faith. The game will be televised again at noon tomorrow on JP>
