12/5/2006 | Men's Basketball

OXFORD, Miss. The Ole Miss basketball team will be taking a break from its trip to Memphis to visit St. Jude Children’s Hospital on Friday afternoon.

 

At 3 p.m., Ole Miss players and coaches will take part in a meet and greet with patients in the lobby before splitting up and touring the hospital.

 

The Rebels will be sharing and taking photographs with the children and their families, and at least one patient has expressed to being a long-time, loyal Ole Miss basketball fan.

 

“We want our players to understand the impact they can have on young people,” said Rebel head coach Andy Kennedy. “It’s exciting for our program to give back to such a great cause.

 

On Saturday, Ole Miss will put its 7-1 record on the line against the 16th-ranked Memphis Tigers at the FedEx Forum. The game is set for a noon start and will be televised on CSS.
