He Gave Ole Miss Its First NCAA Bid Ever. There's No Banner For Him. | Ole Miss Basketball

Tim Thomas came on to preview Ole Miss basketball and ended up making a campaign speech. Elston Turner is not in the rafters at the Pavilion, and Thomas called that a travesty. Here is the file: All-Century Team, 4th in school history in scoring at 1,805 points, 2nd in rebounding at 828, and 22 points in the 66-62 SEC Tournament title win over Georgia that sent Ole Miss to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history. He then played eight NBA seasons and is an assistant coach with the Minnesota Timberwolves right now. No banner. 8 days to Vanderbilt. Basketball opens with an exhibition against Alabama on Oct 15. Steven Willis and Ole Miss legend Tim Thomas go through Chris Beard's rebuilt roster, the Maui Invitational, and the end of the Tad Pad — plus the one correction the 1981 story has needed for forty-five years.
