Ole Miss Basketball Tickets
The Ole Miss Rebels have never been a basketball powerhouse. In fact, for most of the program’s history, cheap Ole Miss basketball tickets have been plentiful. But that might be starting to change. The 21st century has seen an uptick in basketball prowess for the Rebels, which should make fans in the Magnolia State eager to grab last-minute Ole Miss basketball tickets.
Finding a Path
Most of Ole Miss’s basketball history is rather unremarkable. But that started to change after head coach Rob Evans took over in 1992. He faced an uphill battle but eventually got the Rebels to the NCAA Tournament in 1997 and 1998. Prior to that, Ole Miss had been to the Big Dance just once and hadn’t put together a 20-win season since the 1930s. When Evans left in 1998, assistant Rod Barnes took the reins and kept the Rebels moving forward. Barnes took Ole Miss to the NCAA Tournament three times in his first four seasons. That stretch included the program’s first-ever tournament win in 1999 and its first trip to the Sweet 16 in 2001.
A Brighter Future
Despite taking the Rebels to new heights, Barnes struggled to create sustained success at Ole Miss. Fortunately, Andy Kennedy did just that, coaching 11 straight winning seasons over his 12-season tenure. Kennedy’s time included two trips to the NIT semifinals, two NCAA Tournament berths, and the second SEC Tournament title in program history. He left Ole Miss with the program in good shape for Kermit Davis, who has big plans for the Rebels and got his tenure started with a trip to the NCAA Tournament in 2019.
