re: Marshall Henderson - 2nd Teamer

Im so sick of people saying Henderson hurts our team. Does he take some ill advised shots sometimes? yes. But the fact of the matter is that we would be about an 18 win team without him.

---

and y'all would have been a 25 win team in the regular season if he played with any sort of composure on the court. that's how he hurts your team. y'all would be a better team if he realized that running the offense through your bigs and trying to take good shots is when ole miss plays their best. ole miss is very beatable when he continues to chuck up terrible shots. look at the south carolina and mississippi state games.

No OM fan has said he's the BEST THANG EVAR. That's patently false.

---

you responded to a hyperbole with a hyperbole. but regardless, yes i have friends that believe this and have stated as such. there are ole miss fans out there that don't post on message boards believe it or not. i'm around them every day

Two words: Andy Kennedy



Not Henderson's problem. Stop acting like he's the reason we lost games. We would've lost to Vandy and Tennessee without him.

do you go to school here? if not then frick YOU

I don't know any OM fan that thinks he's the greatest. Are we happy that he's successful? Of course


You must know some dumbass OM fans

I don't even know how Ole Miss fans like this kid. Yeah, he scores a lot of points, but he's a total jackass. I really can't think of another player, past or present, that behaves like he does on the court. I don't think I'd even like playing with him. If he played with any composure, Ole Miss wouldn't have needed to rely on the SECT to get an NCAAT bid. That's why he didn't make first team. Leading scorer in the conference loses its luster when you shoot 35% from the field. If anyone on Ole Miss has a case for getting snubbed, it was Holloway. I just find it hilarious that I have friends at Ole Miss who absolutely love everything about him, including his attitude. Put him on any other team, and they'd feel the same way about Henderson everyone else does. It's beyond a player just being good and speaking his mind. He's taunted half the teams he's played and during the game. There's a reason this is his 4th team in as many years. He's an immature punk who obviously hasn't learned much as to how to conduct himself outside of not serving another jail sentence. Think about that for a second. The school that likes to think they're the epitome of class and conservatism worship a kid who shows none of that.

For the first half of the season I really disliked him, mainly because of his extremely frustrating shot selection. He won me over after his buzzer beater at Vandy, although I wouldn't say that I loved him.

I'm not going to be a homer and blindly defend his actions. He's a mega douche, I can't think of anyone worse than him in this regard. I don't waste my time defending him on here because it's pointless. He is a massive jackass and that's a fact. I don't appreciate his comments he's made in post game interviews because he can come off as selfish and putting himself and future career above the team. I won't even get into his twitter habits.

Having said that, here is the bottom line. He has single handily won several games for us. He has garnered attention to a pathetic Ole Miss basketball program (good and bad) that it would never have gained otherwise. His cockiness oftentimes translates into confidence that produces clutch play when it matters. He's a mercenary that took us to our first NCAA appearance since 2002 and first SECTC since 1981, only our second ever, and for that I thank him.

I honestly don't love the guy, but he is fun to watch and I just take him for what he is and laugh. This is probably the worst basketball season in SEC history, and he has given us a reason to watch the games and for the season to not be forgotten.

well said.

I'd be surprised if he comes back next year, I'm thinking he goes to Europe.

Would be the smart thing to do. You can make a lot of money playing basketball in Europe.
