But 'twas fun. Pardon us for being a bit slow around here over the next few hours, if you could.
Ole Miss Cruises To NIT Opening-Round Win | OleMissSports.com
The Rebels cruised to victory last night in front of a capacity crowd at the Tad Pad. Terrico White led the team offensively, scoring 27 while Chris Warren scored 16. Quoth Coach Kennedy with regards to 'Rico's performance:
I thought he was aggressive and it's always helpful to make shots early because they stay aggressive ... I would like to see that every night, but maybe he's not ready to do that every night. You forget that he's a sophomore and we want him to approach like that every night because he's certainly got the ability to do something.
No shit, coach. And, let's be frank: this is basketball. Sophomores can excel in college basketball. Hell, freshmen can easily excel in hoops (exhibit A: Kentucky). Terrico should have been playing like this all season. I like you, coach, I really do. But dang, you really should have lit a fire under him months ago.
Also, check out the NIT's page with their article on last night. Do you notice that the image labelled as Terrico White is actually Murphy Holloway?
You're welcome, RolePlayer.
Willis Wins Butkus Award As Collegian And Pro | OleMissSports.com
I guess I wasn't really aware that the Butkus award was also given to NFL 'backers but, regardless, Patrick Willis has become the first person to win said award both as a collegiate athlete at Ole Miss and a professional baller out in San Francisco. Congratulations to PWillie who not only drops the kaboom-hammer on opponents, but also loves the kids.
March 17 Regional Projections | Rivals
Rivals thinks we're hosting a regional which could include Coastal Carolina, ECU, and Austin Pee. I'd like that. We're not currently projected as a national seed (surprise!) and have our regional paired with Clemson's.

That is, in fact, racist.
I can see why they made the mistake though. After Terrico made some very athletic plays, including two (I don’t know how to describe them) dunks to start the second half, Holloway showed he has the athletism to drive and adjust a shot in the air. I love Holloway. I get pumped when he yells on the screen before the game. AHHHHHH!!
You all need to be here on Friday!! I hate Memphis fans.

I think Kennedy knows Terrico could've been doing this all year.
My guess is his comment about Terrico being a sophomore with room to grow in his game is more of a not so subtle hint to Terrico that he needs to be around next year to get better.
I think Terrico may have to come back unless he wants to go play in Europe, but I read Kennedy’s comment more as a suggestion to Terrico. I think he knows Terrico could’ve been doing this all year. That’s what’s frustrating, though I do agree that it’s on Kennedy for not forcing him to do this more often.
It's pointless to even discuss regionals this early
but, if don’t end up earning a national seed, I could live with this projection. A fairly easy Oxford Regional paired against a Clemson Regional that includes South Carolina. Let Carolina upset Clemson and we host another Super. The pain of losing a home SR to an SEC foe, though, would be almost too much to handle. That would hurt.
How was attendance last night?
That question leaves you free to assume that I didn’t make it to Oxford last night.

There wasn't a free seat in the house.
Just kidding. If you bought a ticket last night, you could have sat on the tenth row or so.

BS
I bought a ticket at 6:58pm and I could have sat on the railing and swatted the Trojan Man Mascot. I sat on the third row instead because that dude got moves.
Troy brought a band and a group of students that took up half of our student section. Our student section was populated by about 40 people, half of which were families. The rest of the Tadpad was about a quarter full (a rough estimate).

I just called the ticket office.
Tickets are sold out for the Memphis game. I wonder who bought all those tickets…

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!!
Did you ask about student/faculty/staff tickets? Because they are selling those for $4 per person, and you can buy two of them with an ID. When I went and bought my two, there were signs everywhere about the game being sold out, but it wasn’t for these particular tickets – only for non-affiliated folks.

Yes.
Non-affiliated folks…. like me.

Not if you get a ticket FROM someone...
but if you buy individual tickets from the counter, then yes.
"HOT BOUDIN! COOOOOLD COUS COUS, COME ON TIGAHS, PUSH PUSH PUSH!"
yeah i just went down there as well. All they have left is student faculty tickets. Looks like Memphis State is pretty pumped about this one. I hope they make t-shirts…
And some new material for future episodes of
The First 48.
