The Ole Miss Men’s Basketball team will return to the historic Tad Smith Coliseum for a mid-November matchup against Sam Houston State. This idea came up shortly after new Head Coach Chris Beard arrived on campus, and it will finally come to fruition at 8 p.m. Nov. 17.
There has not been an Ole Miss basketball game held in the “Tad Pad” since December 2015 when the Rebels topped Troy University 83-80.
This throwback game has been a legacy move for Beard. He has accomplished similar feats during his previous stops at Texas, Texas Tech and Little Rock.
