Personally, I can’t get enough of this Ole Miss team. The bravado they have is unmatched and Marshall Henderson is absolutely a star. He is the type of offensive talent that can take over the NCAA tournament and lead his team through the bracket. Ole Miss is one step closer to earning a bid to the tournament and they could be a team to watch.
If you need an example of Marshall Henderson’s swagger, just remember this moment from when he taunted the Auburn student section after leading his team to a win earlier in the year:
Now that is entertainment. You can expect a lot more where that came from if Henderson and the Rebels keep rolling on through the madness.
The complete field of tournament participants will be announced on Selection Sunday just over twenty four hours from now.
