No. 11 MISSISSIPPI
Best Case: Team that came the closest of anyone to winning in Rupp Arena all year is up for the challenge of the Big Dance. With Marshall Henderson back from Qatar and getting his crazy on in the stands, Rebels run past BYU in Dayton and then take down Xavier in Jacksonville. Ole Miss beats Baylor on a putback at the buzzer by M.J. Rhett, and it's on to the Sweet 16 in Los Angeles. With Henderson, Bo Wallace and 200 Ole Miss frat boys holding court all week in the Viper Room, Rebels are the toast of the town. Run ends in a loss to Arizona, but by then it's time to pay attention to spring football anyway.
Worst Case: As Stefan Moody is racing in for the winning layup against BYU with the Rebels down a point, he pulls a LaQuon Treadwell and gets hurt as he's going up. Ball hits rim, shot misses, Ole Miss loses. Henderson and Wallace look on in horror from the stands, then return to the Viper Room. Back in Oxford, frat boys reach for the Fireball and turn their attention to spring football the next day.
