Description

Coach Chris Beard is back on MTM as the Rebels picked off 24 wins and made it to the Sweet 16 and they were a key competitor in the SEC. Coach Beard was named the Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year and led four teams into the NCAA Tournament in his nine seasons as a head coach. This was the Rebels second appearance in the Sweet 16 and the first time since 2001.
