Rebel Roundup - March 13, 2012

RED CUP RADIO
We recorded it last night, and we had fun doing it. Download the Rebel Sports Radio app on your Apple or Android device to give it a listen.

Ole Miss Makes NIT | WJTV
If Ole Miss beats Illinois State, the winner of Stanford/Cleveland State, and then whoever else comes after that, then I'll legitimately consider taking the AmTrak or Bolt Bus up to New York City to watch the Rebels play in Madison Square Garden. You all should join me. It'll be fun.

SEC bubble teams all had flaws in their NCAA tournament resumes | AL.com
Mississippi State, Tennessee, and our Ole Miss all had high RPIs, but didn't have enough quality wins (or, in the case of State, too many bad losses) to earn NCAA bids. Just a couple of months ago, many thought the SEC could be a 6-bid league. Instead, we are the most underwhelming 4-bid league in recent memory. Of course, we didn't suck nearly as bad as the Pac 12. Good golly, that conference as atrocious this year.

Speaking of Mississippi State and Ole Miss missing the NCAA's, it is interesting to note that two other teams from Mississippi - Southern Miss and Mississippi Valley State - made it.

Ole Miss adds shooter for 2013 class | Hugh Hamburglar
Marshall Henderson, a 6'1" Juco shooting guard who previously played for Texas Tech and Utah, committed to Ole Miss last night. More on Henderson a bit later today.

No. 21 Baseball Hosts No. 12 Ole Miss for Midweek Pair | University of Louisville Official Athletic Site
Mike Bianco takes on the squad of his former all-star assistant coach Dan McDonnell tonight and tomorrow, as the #12 ranked Ole Miss Rebel baseball team faces a talented and accomplished Louisville Cardinals team in Louisville. A full series preview is to come shortly.

Enrique Davis Arrested
Former Houston Nutt great* Inricky Davis faces a felony charge after allegedly assaulting a Panama City police officer late last night. His assault consisted of him running, at full speed, into the cop's back, before falling forward onto his face. (Actually, he was peeing on a car in the parking lot and, when approached by an undercover cop, started elbowing people. It's as stupid as it sounds.)

*Note: a "Houston Nutt great" is a player who, only in the eyes of Houston Nutt, is great at football.
