‘The timing is just not right’: Chris Beard withdraws Ole Miss basketball from NIT consideration
SUMMARY: The Ole Miss men's basketball season ended after coach Chris Beard opted out of post-season play, citing personal issues for players. Despite improving the team from last season, the Rebels' performance declined late in the season. Beard, who recently signed a contract extension, is determined to elevate Ole Miss to NCAA Tournament success and aims to recruit top talent by promoting the university's education, basketball culture, and player benefits. Heading into his second year, Beard will focus on high school recruits and transfers to replace outgoing leading scorers.
