OXFORD, Miss. -- Ole Miss athletics will hold a press conference Thursday at 2 p.m. CT to announce the CellularSouth All-Century men's basketball team. The press conference will be streamed on OleMissSports.com's RebelVision.
The All-Century Team was selected following a vote of fans on OleMissSports.com and a committee of officials from the athletics department and the M-Club Alumni Chapter. The fans' top 10 vote getters were automatic qualifiers, and the remaining spots were chosen by the committee.
The ballot included any Rebel that earned All-SEC honors or scored 1,000 or more points in his career, excluding current players, for a total of 41 nominees. Fans also had the opportunity to email write-in votes.
The celebration of the First 100 Years of Ole Miss Basketball will culminate with the public introduction of the All-Century Team at the Feb. 21 game against Georgia at Tad Smith Coliseum.
