Another Chapter Closed

Another chapter was closed on Ole Miss basketball and the Ole Miss career of Coach Rod Barnes this afternoon as the Rebels lost to Kentucky in the first round of the SEC basketball tournament in Nashville. The Rebels put up a good effort for the game, but in typical fashion went on several droughts and could not hold Kentucky back losing 71-57 . Dwayne Curtis got into foul trouble and that is when the drought started for the Rebs. After the game Grant Gannon asked players about next year and what they plan on doing. It appeared that Bam Doyne and Todd Abernathy were the only two that committed to returning. This is not to say that everyone else is going to transfer by all means. But I would think we lose a couple of guys off the team. It was reported alot of the players want Asst. Coach Tracy Dildy to be the coach. Don't look for this to happen. Sorry for the guys, but it is part of it.
