We've heard it through our sketchy media sources that Zach Graham is out for the remainder of the season with a torn patella tendon. If this is true, we'll have Patrick Spach getting some serious minutes very soon. No offense to Spach, he filled out some minutes on Saturday without making the game any worse than it already was, so kudos to him.
Murphy Holloway told David Brandt at the Clarion Ledger that the game was "a total abortion." Well said Murphy, but at least this abortion was in the second trimester of the season, making it legal in most states.
Terrico White is the future of Ole Miss basketball, and Saturday showed why as he dropped 22 points on the Tigers with the next closest Rebel player coming in at 10(that'd be Holloway).
I'm already looking towards next season for basketball. This season is a chance for growing young players, and we'll probably get heckled somewhat mercilessly for the next couple months.
The Rebels now stand at 10-7 (1-2 SEC) with 13 games left to play. Here's what the Rebels have left to play: 7 games on the road including all of the SEC West teams, Vandy and South Carolina. If we win more than one of those seven road games, I'll be impressed. Coming to Oxford, we have Tennessee(loss), Kentucky(loss), Georgia(win), Auburn(win), Alabama(loss) and Mississippi State(loss).
A mighty 13-17 record and a quick exit from the SEC tourney in Atlanta plus the drama from Kennedy's trial shortly after the season makes for an exciting spring for the roundballers.
Even one of Mike Seaver's zany, wacky plans couldn't save this team

You guys have been pretty unlucky with the injuries and all.
I see some very good talent on this team, but when you have that many injuries to key players, the lack of chemistry will just kill you.
I thought Warren had a legitimate chance of being the best PG in the SEC going into the season.
This is just a reminder of never taking anything for granted, I guess.
Warren is a baller. Hopefully he recovers well enough to not lose any of the quickness which made him one of the SEC's best.
How's your coach?
It seems that after he and a couple of his assistants beat the hell out of the immigrant Cincinnati cabbie, he's been suffering erectile disfunction or "loss of consortium" as his lawyer calls it.
Is that common side effect when one beats the living shit out of someone less fortunate?
To those of you that don't believe me here's the story and the link. Enjoy and go Weebals!

Trial for Ole Miss coach set after NCAA tourney.
CINCINNATI (AP) — A judge delayed the assault trial of Mississippi basketball coach Andy Kennedy on Friday until after the NCAA tournament.
Also Friday, the cab driver who accused Kennedy of hitting him and using ethnic slurs filed a lawsuit against the coach in response to Kennedy's defamation lawsuit.
The latest lawsuit seeks damages from Kennedy for the alleged assault and accuses the coach of filing a frivolous lawsuit.
Kennedy's trial on the criminal charge was set for April 20 after his attorney, Mike Allen, asked that a jury trial be held after the basketball season.
Kennedy faces a first-degree misdemeanor count of assault, which would carry a maximum sentence of six months in jail if convicted.
"He's confident in the ultimate outcome in this case, which we believe will be vindication for him," Allen said. "I'm not at liberty to discuss the facts at this time, but suffice to say, we vehemently deny any of these charges."
Mohamed Moctar Ould Jiddou told police that Kennedy punched him in the face and called him "(Osama) bin Laden" and other derogatory terms during a Dec. 18 dispute that centered on how many passengers were allowed in his taxi.
Police arrested Kennedy, who was in town for the SEC/Big East Invitational Tournament.
Kennedy, 40, a former assistant coach and interim head coach at the University of Cincinnati, denied the allegations. He sued Jiddou for alleged defamation, along with a valet who said he witnessed the altercation.
Jiddou, 25, a native of the northwest Africa country of Mauritania, says in his countersuit that Kennedy's lawsuit was meant to harass him and cause him needless costs.
Michael Strother, the valet witness, also countersued, alleging Kennedy's lawsuit was frivolous.
"I've been practicing for 46 years, and I've never heard of such a thing — a witness who was acting essentially as a Good Samaritan who stepped forward to tell police what he believes he saw, and then he is sued for $25,000 or more," said Phil Taliaferro, Strother's attorney.
Richard Katz, Kennedy's lawyer in the civil matters, said he hadn't seen the counterclaims and couldn't comment on them.
"It's not unexpected," Katz said. "We'll respond to it at the appropriate time."
The cab driver and valet also face civil allegations that they caused a "loss of consortium" between Kennedy and his wife, Kimber.

Have you not red this fucking blog, you assclown? We've written about this subject a few times. Sit down, pour yourself a glass of milk, look over the blog a few times and then come back when you want talk. Just don't expect your mom to help you every time you see some of the profanity, multisyllabic words, and more complex grammatical structures we like to utilize on occasion.
"Webbals," huh? Man, that one just stings me every time. Did you come up with that one on your own? Jesus, you're a genius.
As long as we're on this topic... is anyone at all upset when people write "Weebuls" or "webhals?" I'm not. It's not like those "words" have some sort of alternate meaning. It's like getting upset when someone calls you a "pehrsan."
SEC Tournament is in Tampa.
Juco, I actually think the use of those terms demeans the person's argument. If you TOOL wanted to come up with some clever cutdown, that would be appreciated; however, "weebals" could be the creation of a 4-year-old State fan (that has a lisp).
TOOL's name pretty much sums it up for us.
