Ole Miss Rebels vs. South Carolina Gamecocks - A Brief Preview and an OPEN THREAD

PrintHappy Saturday, y'all. We're not going to go too in depth with this preview because a) we're not too excited about Rebel basketball and b) it's as close to a gimme win as we're gonna get in the SEC. South Carolina is 9-10 on the year with a 1-4 SEC record. Their one conference win - a 56-54 home game over Alabama - came on a thrilling last-second layup by Bruce Ellington. South Carolina does have a lot of momentum after that game, and is likely looking to exploit the now-deflated Rebel season (dramatic? sure) as they trip to Oxford.
Still, South Carolina is, simply put, the worst basketball team in the SEC. The chance of them beating the Rebels in the Tad Pad is slim to none. Ole Miss might be inconsistent, but I woudln't call them bad, just yet.

I've seen enough OM basketball games to know
that we are never assured of a victory.

Kendrick?
Apparently there is some guy named kendrick on our team?

I noticed that too. Why hasn't Kennedy been playing THATguy?
The announcer said he used to work for a McDonald’s or something.
I always say 'beer me.' It gets a laugh, like, a quarter of the time.

It's Conley
This game is the epitome of why it’s so painful to be a rebel fan. We should be up by 15 in cruise control, but we’ve kept them hanging around. We have no killer instinct. Just like Thursday.
Thanks
Too lazy to look it up so I guessed.

The name might have been wrong
but your comments were spot on.

Nice shot henry
And yeah, What really bothered me was him saying he’ll have to “come back and score the first basket again” when we open our new stadium. So effing arrogant.

Thank you, Terrance Henry.
I thought for sure we were about to piss this one away.

Yeah I thought we would blow this game for sure the way we have played
That shot was clutch.
This is going to be Legen...wait for it....Dary!-Barney Stinson
Rebs win despite too many turnovers and very sloppy offense.

So I don't get it we started the game at a RPI of 42
but after beating South Carolina we drop to 45. Can anyone explain, because it makes no sense to me?

SC's RPI is pretty low
So when a team with a pretty high RPI plays a team with a relatively low RPI, it’s pretty much a lose-lose situation for the higher-rated team. A home loss to USC would have been devastating. As it is, we dropped three spots because playing USC weakened our strength of schedule. Also, home wins aren’t weighted as heavily as road wins. So, to beat a lowly-rated team at home really doesn’t raise your RPI. The RPI is a tool that has to be viewed in totality also- it’s not really useful on a game-to-game basis.
