REBELS (20-11, 10-8 SEC) Head Coach: Andy Kennedy Career: 233-138/11th At OM: 212-125/10th
TIP OFF • Ole Miss enters the SEC Tournament as the No. 7 seed and will face 10th-seeded Alabama in the second round Thursday. The Rebels are 30-51 all time in the SEC Tournament and 5-6 tourney games in Nashville. • Ole Miss secured its eighth 20-win season in 10 years under head coach Andy Kennedy. The Rebels recorded just seven 20-win campaigns in the 96 seasons before Kennedy’s arrival. Kennedy joined Billy Donovan (Florida), Joe B. Hall (Kentucky), Nolan Richardson (Arkansas) and Tubby Smith (Georgia/Kentucky) as the fifth coach in SEC history with eight 20-wins seasons in their first 10 years in the league. Only Kentucky (9)has more 20-win season in the SEC over the last 10 years than the Rebels. • Senior G Stefan Moody needs only eight points and 19 assists to join LSU’s Pete Maravich as the only two play ers in SEC history with 700 points and 150 assists in a single season. He would also become only the fifth player in Ole Miss history and the 26th player in SEC history to top 700 points in a season. Earlier this year, Moody became the fifth-fastest player in school history to score 1,000 career points (52 games). • Senior G Stefan Moody leads the SEC, and ranks sixth nationally, in scoring at 23.1 ppg this year. Moody has posted 20-plus points 20 times this season, including a streak of 14-consecutive games, has topped the 30-point mark four times and scored 40-plus points once. He also leads league in the scoring in SEC play at 23.4 ppg. • Senior G Stefan Moody scored a career-high 43 points in the Rebels’ Senior Night victory over MSU. It is tied for the highest single-game total in the SEC this year, the 11th highest in nation and the 13th highest in school history. It also marked the most points scored by a Rebel since Gerald Glass dropped 53 on LSU in 1989 and was the most in an SEC game since 2009. • Head coach Andy Kennedy picked up 200th career victory as the Ole Miss head man versus Louisiana Tech earlier this season. The all-time winningest coach in school history, Kennedy is 212-125 in 10 seasons in Oxford and 233-138 in 11 years as a head coach. He is the 20th coach in SEC history to win 200 games at one school, and has the fourth-most wins by a coach in his first 10 years in the SEC at one school.
