AP source: Big East to invite Boise St, 5 others

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- The Big East is ready to start adding members after spending the last month and a half losing them.

Losses aside, Rebels building for future

Ole Miss lost its series to LSU this weekend, but that’s not really the story. On Saturday, the Rebels showed what they are capable of in a 16-3 rout of the Tigers.

The past couple of years have been disappointing for Ole Miss baseball fans. The Rebels have routinely hosted Regionals and Super Regionals, and the last couple of years the team has had to travel to a regional, something that has frustrated the fan base.

When asked what it takes to win the NCAA Division I Basketball Tournament, former Louisville coach Denny Crum, winner of two National Championships (1980, 1986), responded, “You have to be lucky, and you can’t be unlucky.” This is a perfect ideology for those familiar with “bracketology.”

Rebel Netters welcome back Norberg, begin 2011 season

It’s hard to think what the Ole Miss men’s tennis team could have accomplished last season had senior Kalle Norberg – the 2009 Southeastern Conference Tournament MVP – been part of the lineup.

It’s hard to think what the Ole Miss men’s tennis team could have accomplished last season had senior Kalle Norberg – the 2009 Southeastern Conference Tournament MVP – been part of the lineup. Yet it’s remarkable that even without him they finished the 2010 season with a No. 19 national ranking, a ninth consecutive SEC West title, a second-round NCAA appearance and had junior Marcel Thiemann become the 25th All-American in the program’s history.

“I think they did great last year without me,” Norberg said.
