Michael White is not taking the OM job. Even if it was available.

The coaching isn't poor. The bigs unfortunately just aren't what we thought they'd be. The 7' guy is garbage. Stephens has played well but isn't the stretch 4 he was thought to be. The other guy whose name escapes me got hurt and the other "white guy" as Jay Tate said just sucks.
I just feel if we fire Kennedy the program will fall completely off. At least it's somewhat watchable now.

This, I think, is a bigger factor for us struggling than we realize. He has actually started to produce more the last couple of games from the 3. What killed us with him at Auburn was he got into foul trouble. He was having a great game offensively.

We should go get the MTSU coach
If you are going to dip into midmajor ranks go grab Thunder Dan Majerle from Grand Canyon
He has restaurants and a lot of ties to PHX so would be hard, but the guy can coach

Well, we still didn't shoot worth a crap, but that was a pretty good first half until that stupid rush right before half when we should have gotten the last shot and for sure led at half.

These refs are terrible.

We needed that win

Another excellent offensive game by Stevens and he stayed out of foul trouble. Hopefully he's turned a corner. Now we just need to get TD on track offensively.

We should give Kennedy another year. We have a lot returning and could make the tourny.

Yeah if it's this hard to fire him it probably means it isn't time to. Everyone has mixed opinions so I think he needs another year. I'm just hoping he can get some younger guys. Stop the JUCO/transfer game where it takes half a season to get chemistry.

I don't think I agree with this, but it sucks that it takes half a year. I think maybe we limit it.
Stevens seems like he's starting to get it and play well. He was in foul trouble against auburn, but shot well. We missed DB that game. The x factor in sec play has been the play of TD. If he's playing better and Stevens doesn't foul out, that Auburn game might look different.
We have to shoot the three better to win consistently though. That's just the way this team is built.

In a perfect world I agree with this, but Crawford has been the most consistent player on the team hands down. We are under .500 this year without him
Posted on 1/14/18 at 10:12 am to RebelExpress38
I agree. I wish he would take more shots.

How the hell did we beat Florida?

Took more 2s than 3s.

SCOUTING TEXAS A&M
Texas A&M enters Tuesday’s contest in search of its first SEC win. After beginning the season 11-1 and being ranked as high as No. 5 in the country, the Aggies have dropped all five of their conference games. However, with wins over West Virginia and USC, Texas A&M still has a solid RPI (33). The Aggies’ size has helped them lead the SEC in rebounding (42.3 per game), ranking fifth nationally. They also are eighth in the country in blocks per game (6.2). Four Aggies average double figures in scoring led by junior center Tyler Davis (14.2 ppg), who leads the SEC in field goal percentage at .601. Classmates D.J. Hogg and Admon Gilder are closely behind with 13.9 ppg and 13.1 ppg, respectively. Hogg is making 45.3 percent of his shots from long range, topping the conference. Duane Williams averages 11.6 ppg, while preseason SEC Player of the Year Robert Williams leads the Aggies in rebounds (9.6 per game) and blocks (30). Billy Kennedy is in his seventh season as head coach of the Aggies. Before arriving in College Station, he spent five seasons as Murray State’s head coach.
SERIES HISTORY
Tuesday’s game will be only the eighth meeting between the Rebels and Aggies. Texas A&M is Ole Miss’ least common SEC opponent after the Aggies joined the SEC prior to the 2012-13 campaign. After playing twice in Texas A&M’s inaugural SEC season, the squads have met only once in each of the following four seasons. The Aggies hold a 5-2 advantage, including a 4-2 record in SEC games and a 2-0 mark in College Station. The two teams first met Dec. 29, 1972 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma where Texas A&M claimed a 100-83 victory. The Rebels’ last win in the series occurred in Oxford, 69-59 (Feb. 4, 2015).
LAST TIME WE MET
Ole Miss wasn’t able to finish the second half comeback against Texas A&M, falling to the Aggies 80-76 (Jan. 25, 2017). The Rebels were led offensively by Sebastian Saiz and Terence Davis with 19 points apiece. After reducing the 8-point halftime deficit to one possession on multiple occasions, Ole Miss was able to finally tie the game up at 73 off of a Cullen Neal 3-pointer 1:47 to go. However, the Rebels were not able to close out the comeback attempt. Saiz and Davis played a large role in Ole Miss having an opportunity in the closing stages of the game to grab the win. In the second half, the two combined for 17 points on 6 of 10 shooting. Davis had a hot hand from behind the arc all game, hitting five treys. The Aggies +16 margin on the glass coupled with nine offensive rebounds played a large role in the result. The Rebels shot 49 percent from the field and 44 percent from three.
