REBELS

(22-13, 10-8 SEC) Head Coach: Andy Kennedy Career: 255-152/12th At OM: 234-139/11th

TIP OFF • Ole Miss hosts Georgia Tech in the quarterfinals of the NIT Tuesday. The Rebels have advanced to the NIT Final Four twice under head coach Andy Kennedy and boast a 15-11 all-time record in 12 NIT appearances. • The Rebels finished the regular season tied for fifth in the league standings after being predicted to finish ninth in the SEC this year by the media. Ole Miss has not finished worse than sixth in the league and has finished above its preseason projected finish each of the last six seasons since the league moved away from a divisional format. • Ole Miss and Kentucky are the only two schools to finish .500 or better in the SEC each of the last six seasons. • Head coach Andy Kennedy moved past Florida coach Norm Sloan into 18th on the SEC career coaching wins list with 234 victories. He is also moved past Rick Stansbury (MSU) for the fourth most wins in SEC history by a coach in his first 11 years in the league at one school. • The Rebels have hit 308 of 395 (.780) attempts from the free throw line over the last 15 games. Ole Miss leads the nation in made free throws this year with 690. The Rebels are averaging 81.5 ppg over their last 11 games. • With a 1281-1281 all time record, Ole Miss has a .500 winning percentage as a program for the first time since the Rebels were 440-440 on Jan. 17, 1958. The Rebels were 95 games under .500 when Andy Kennedy took over in Oxford. • Sophomore G Terence Davis scored 30 points and hit a career-high six 3s in Ole Miss’ win at Syracusae. Davis is averaging 18.7 points a game over his last 11 games. He has increased his scoring this season 13.1 ppg over last year, which is the largest increase in scoring for any player in the SEC. • Ole Miss has 20 wins for the ninth time in 11 seasons under Andy Kennedy, who joins Billy Donovan, Joe. B. Hall, Nolan Richardson and Tubby Smith as the only coaches in SEC history to accomplish that feat. The Rebels had just seven 20 win seasons in the 96 seasons before Kennedy’s arrival. • Senior F Sebastian Saiz recorded his 31st career double-double with 10 points and 12 boards in the win over the ‘Cuse and now has 22 double-doubles this season, which leads the SEC and ranks fifth nationally. Saiz leads the SEC and ranks fifth in the nation pulling down 11.3 rebounds a game and is the only player in the conference this season a veraging a double-double. The league’s active career rebounding leader, he recently moved past Walter Actwood into second in Ole Miss history with 993 rebounds and needs just seven rebounds to become just the seventh player in SEC history with 1,000 points, 1,000 rebounds and 100 blocked shots. He was named the 2017 C Spire Howell Trophy winner as the most outstanding player in Mississippi. It was the fifth straight time a Rebel has won the award. He also earned first team All-SEC honors from the league’s coaches. • Two Ole Miss signees - Devontae Shuler and Jamarko Pickett - were recently ranked inside the top 100 and four- star prospects in the latest release of the Scout.com ranking. Shuler was rated the No. 57 prospect in the nation, while Pickett checked in at No. 99.
