It was the first time the nation got to see the crazy of Marshall Henderson. Vanderbilt had just drilled a three with 3.2 seconds left to take a three-point lead. But Henderson got the ball and launched a shot from 35 feet that sent the game into overtime. He proceeded to run around possessed with excitement, and Ole Miss went on to win 89-79.
After hitting two free throws that capped off a 63-61 win at Auburn and a 6-0 start to SEC play, Henderson popped his jer-sey right in front of the Auburn student section. He incited the rage of Auburn’s fans and cre-ated one of the best videos in college basketball of the 2012-13 season. This put Henderson on the map as the celebratory shooter for Ole Miss.
As he led a comeback in the SEC tournament championship game, Henderson buried a three from the wing that put Ole Miss up 59-53. As he ran back down the court, he imitated the famous gator chomp. Ole Miss would go on to win the title, and Hen-derson described his celebration with, “I was just clapping … re-ally wide.”
Even though he hasn’t tweeted since July 11, 2013, Hender-son certainly made his mark on Twitter: His excitement over playing games on Wednesday night because it coincided with his favorite holiday, White Girl Wednesday. And, if you check his Twitter account, you can still find his spat with Erin Andrews from July.
He has made a three in ev-ery game he has played in an Ole Miss jersey. He’s played 63 games and made 256 threes. His streak of 63 is an SEC re-cord. He also broke the NCAA record for most three point at-tempts, as he shot 394 threes last season. This season he is ac-tually shooting more threes per game at 12.2.

ADVERTISING STAFF:
My main motivation for writing today’s column is the recent visit of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals to our beloved campus. I ab-solutely abhor PETA and so do a lot of my friends. Let me tell you why before you throw down your newspaper in dis-gust.
Nothing PETA stands for resonates with me. I say this mainly because of the damn-ing article I read a few months ago that provided evidence that PETA euthanized thou-sands of animals per year. Hypocritical, right? How can you tell me to stop eating deli-cious chicken and tasty bacon if you’re out here killing ani-mals?
Remember the whole Stop Kony movement? Whatever
happened to that? I’m sure whoever was behind that scooped up your precious dol-lars and jetted off to some private beach in Barbados. Young people in particular fall victim to this, but that’s not to say that adults don’t have their change snatched out of their coin purses and into the hands of some greedy “charity.”
This is one reason I am so reluctant to donate money to causes, that and the fact I don’t have any money. I’ve seen several stories done on charities that conclude what many people have failed to consider – that a good per-centage of your money isn’t going to this wonderful chari-ty you’re so inspired by. Many times, you would be lucky if 50 percent of your money ac-tually went to the cause you thought you were contribut-
ing to make the world a better place.
Many people are just not vigilant when it comes to scams. “Hey, this is not a pyr-amid scheme. You really can make $10,000 a week.” Um, what? Most tech savvy people can spend just a few minutes out of their day to research and see what they’re getting into. If you were so passionate about a cause or movement, wouldn’t you want to find out as much information about that organization as you can, just to see if they do anything contradictory?
PETA directly contradicts and invalidates anything they’ve worked to make you believe. Of course they’ll write on their blog that euthanasia is necessary in some cases, but the New York Times will tell you otherwise. How can you justify supporting this?
I’m sure many people will say, “Well, they have a good mes-sage; it just gets convoluted.” Call me cynical or skeptical, but killing the majority of animals at a shelter each year seems pretty damn clear.
The point of me writing this is not to say, “Don’t support charities or advocacy groups because they’re all evil.” I sim-ply want to encourage people to know what they’re getting into. Make smart decisions about whom you give your money to and what you spend your time supporting. There are wonderful charities out there that give 100 percent of donations to whichever cause they claim to represent. It just requires a little more effort on behalf of the donator.

Ready for 2016?COLUMN
Political pundits can never get enough speculation when it comes to presidential politics. Honestly, neither can I. The 2014 midterms are months away but few can get their minds off the 2016 presidential elec-tion. It seems like just yesterday in 2008 when then Sens. Hill-ary Clinton and Barack Obama were dueling for the Democratic nomination, and Sen. John Mc-Cain surprised the nation as he captured the Republican nomi-nation. It won’t be long and candidates will start exploring possible presidential campaigns; that begs the question: who’s go-ing to run?
The 2016 analysis on the Republican side is a little more complicated. There’s no clear front-runner but quite a few strong candidates. From my perspective, the current favor-ite is Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, son of former Congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul. The younger Paul has several advantages over his Re-publican competitors. First, he
(somewhat) identifies with the libertarian wing of the GOP. I say somewhat, because, he isn’t progressive on social issues, by any means. However, he does appeal to Libertarians by his opposition to drone usage and the Patriot Act, among other is-sues. Paul is articulate, quick on his feet, a frequent, loud critic of the Obama Administration and a darling of the Tea Party. Like his father, he has a strong, almost cult-like following. Un-like his father, people seem to take him seriously. Paul does, however, have a few obstacles to navigate if he chooses to make a presidential bid. He has repeat-edly been accused of plagiarism and has previously written about his opposition to portions of the Civil Rights Act of 1965.
New Jersey Gov.Chris Christie is another Republican heavily considering a presidential bid. Christie has long been a favor-ite of the GOP, having been strongly encouraged to run in the 2012 election. Many Repub-licans —and even independents and Democrats — are drawn to Christie’s no-nonsense, tough guy persona. Recently though,
Christie’s borderline bully per-sonality has come back to haunt him in the “Bridgegate” scandal. Christie’s fondness for shouting down his opponents and stomp-ing on his critics could turn off plenty of voters in a general election.
I think the dark horse on the Republican side — as of now — is Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. Walker gained fame (among Re-publicans) and notoriety among many others for taking on labor and unions at the state level. Walker faced a recall election af-ter the controversy but defeated those efforts with good organi-zation and a lot of outside funds.
The Democratic playing field all hinges upon former Secre-tary of State Hillary Clinton. As of now, Clinton is the absolute frontrunner among Democrats. During her tenure as Secretary of State, her popularity soared. Her favorability ratings were even high among Republicans. Clinton has a solid resume — she served as First Lady during her husband’s presidency, she was a senator from New York and just finished four years as the United States’ lead diplo-
mat. However, Republicans will surely attack Clinton with accu-sations regarding her handling of the “Benghazi incident.” More surprisingly, Sen. Paul has even brought up the Monica Le-winsky scandal. The petty poli-tics will continue.
If Clinton chooses to pass on another presidential run, the Democratic field will get inter-esting very quickly. Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley will sure-ly run. Many progressives have been longing for a presidential campaign from Sen. Elizabeth Warren, but she has consistently ruled out that possibility.
The 2016 presidential elec-tion will undoubtedly be an-other horserace. The GOP se-lection process is going to get messy. Today it looks as if Paul is leading the pack, but politics change very quickly. Clinton is the woman to watch among the Democrats; if she runs, I think Democrats have a chance to keep the White House. If not, it looks like it’s going to be a tough race.

Making progress: Turner gains new perspective
Before Brooks Turner became a student at Ole Miss, he did not know much about traditionally black fraternities. Turner, a white student from Kosciusko, came to Ole Miss in the fall of 2008. When he thought Greek, he thought Interfraternity Council. After going to the Greek forums and doing some research, how-ever, he became inspired by one group’s dedication to service and making the community a better place, but it was not a traditional-ly white fraternity. Turner wanted to join Alpha Phi Alpha Frater-nity Inc., a National Pan-Hellenic Council organization.
“It was a big decision,” Turner said. “I didn’t know any members of (Alpha fraternity) and I didn’t get the time to know them. I liked what the fraternity was trying to accomplish. It really had the characteristics that I aspired to have as a man.”
A 2013 Ole Miss graduate, Turner is currently in his second semester of medical school at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. Looking back on his time as an undergraduate, Turner said his interest in becoming an Alpha was inspired by an unexpected acquaintance.
Kosciusko is a small town in the middle of the Bible Belt, and Turner was not exposed to any-thing other than his Christian upbringing before college. He
became friends with a Muslim student through the Sally Mc-Donnell Barksdale Honors Col-lege. After a year and a half of playing intramural sports and helping each other study for their engineering class, their friendship evolved into a brotherhood that was no longer defined by differ-ences of faith. The experience made Turner realize there was a flaw in his personality that he wanted to reject.
“It gave me a new perspective, that I can stereotype people eas-ily,” he said. “I wanted to distance myself from that and not judge people by the color of the skin and background or whatever. While I was on campus, I noticed that the black fraternity just seemed closer and smaller-knit and they had a genuine brotherhood.”
Before he gained that perspec-tive, Turner never considered joining a fraternity, the beliefs and affiliations of which differed from his.
Turner decided to attend an Alpha interest meeting. Unlike the traditionally white organiza-tions, men interested in joining a traditionally black fraternity must show dedication to just one group in order to get in. NPHC Coordinator of Greek Affairs EJ Edney, also an Alpha, wanted to make sure Turner knew about the organization.
“We wanted to make sure that anyone who joins our organiza-tion knows something about us before they come,” Edney said.
“What was immediately impres-sive to me was how well (Turner) could articulate why he wanted to be a member of the organiza-tion. After that, any type of doubt we had of his motivations behind wanting to become a member were completely nullifed.”
In fall of 2010, Turner and seven other students became line brothers, men who pledged to-gether. During their undergradu-ate time together, they developed a close brotherhood.
“We can talk to each other about anything,” Turner said. “We can joke around with each other or discuss personal issues. There is no awkwardness because I’m white and they’re black. We really do genuinely treat these guys as brothers. It really shows how you can take people from different races and be able to find a way to put that aside and just enjoy each other and love each other as brothers when a lot of society would almost break you from that.”
Turner was immediately con-cerned with the perception of his decision from family and friends. Turner’s parents were worried about backlash and public per-ception. After he explained to them why he joined the fraternity, their worry subsided and they supported him. Mixed reactions from classmates and friends soon followed.
“When I came out with my letters, friends still accepted me, but they wouldn’t talk about it,”
Turner said. “I think when people saw me trying to represent the or-ganization in a positive way, they maybe gained a new perspective of what I stand for.”
According to Edney, Turner never tried to be anyone other than himself around the Alphas.

The university plans to add 13,000 square feet to the exist-ing Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College. The addition plans consist of new classrooms as well as designated space for studying and social interaction.
The groundbreaking cer-emony for the expansion is set for 10 a.m. today in front of the Honors College. Chancellor Dan Jones, honors college Dean Douglass Sullivan-Gonzalez and Jim Barksdale will speak at the event. After the formal re-marks, the university will host a reception in the Sally McDon-nell Barksdale Honors College lounge.
The budget for the addi-tion is $6.3 million. The uni-versity will pay for most of the construction internally, ac-cording to honors college As-sociate Dean John Samonds. The expansion includes a new entrance to the building which will face Lamar Hall. The three-story construction will add three classrooms for a total of nine
classrooms overall and renovate parts of the existing building.
“Increased space for student interaction and conversation will be the windfall of the ex-pansion. Additional classroom space and a public lobby to wel-come prospects and visitors will set the stage for a great academ-ic adventure on UM’s campus,” Sullivan-Gonzalez said.
Samonds also commented on the need for more public space at the current building.
“We just don’t have any good social space for honors students over here at the college, con-sidering the size of our student body,” Samonds said.
The Sally McDonnell Barks-dale Honors College has in-creased its enrollment from 320 students in fall 2002 to more than 1,100 students in fall 2013.
“Between the computer lab, the dungeon and the several classrooms, the 24-hour ac-cess to honors college facilities is pretty great,” senior inter-national studies major Byron Head said.
Although Head is set to grad-uate in May and won’t actually
be enrolled in the honors college after the construction is com-pleted, he still said the expan-sion is important.
“Since the honors college is growing every year, the expan-sion will help accommodate the growing numbers.”
Sullivan-Gonzalez described the project as an act of faith in his students.
“We can’t know what student working in the dungeon will lat-er discover a new cancer drug, or what lively conversation in the kitchen might later morph into a creative education policy, or what 21st century governor is quietly taking in new perspec-tives in her honors 102 class,” Sullivan-Gonzalez said.
“We can’t know, but we firmly believe that will happen, and more that we can’t even imag-ine yet.”
“We’re very excited; this is something that’s been a long time coming and desperately needed,” Samonds said.
The university expects to complete the addition and ren-ovation of the honors college building by 2015.

Short reads for a short break
For many people, this spring break is going to be some-thing to remember. Whether you are a freshman spending spring break with your friends for the first time or a senior who simply wants to enjoy your last spring break chill-ing out in Oxford, you are all pretty much excited to not be
doing school work for an en-tire week.
A downside to this timely break is the weather. Unless you are going somewhere that the weather will be accom-modating at all times, you may need something to get you through the cold that is so last month. Even if you don’t, what’s better than a good book on the beach?
Here’s a list of short reads
that will get you through the day and some that will even get you through the week:
-”The Murder of Roger Ackroyd” by Agatha Chris-tie – I recently read this book in a class, and, though I was initially skeptical, I quick-ly learned the error of my judgement. This mystery is a must read because it will defi-nitely have your jaw on the floor by the time you finish it (unless you are some kind of super detective). This book may look slightly long to non-readers, but once you start reading it, you will not put it down.
-”The Unknowns” by Ga-briel Roth – This novel is a recommendation from Megan
Abbott, this year’s Grisham Writer in Residence. A seem-ingly different twist on a love story, both the romantics and the tech savvy will enjoy this novel about a young tech wiz who falls in love. Abbott found this novel to be “extremely funny and very moving.”
-”David and Goliath” by Malcolm Gladwell – For all of the non-fiction readers on campus, this book is definite-ly a must-have, not only for the break but also for life in general. It is not the shortest beach read, but it is definitely an extra pick-me-up.
-”The Best of Me” by Nich-olas Sparks – Just in case you don’t get enough from Nora Roberts, it’s always great to
pick up a book by Nicholas Sparks. This book, like most of Sparks’, is a tear jerker but another must-read if you are looking in the romance sec-tion of the bookstore. There’s nothing like a great twist on the “different sides of the tracks” love story.
-”Gravesend” by William Boyle – For all of the crime lovers, this novel is sure to keep you busy and engaged during the week. A story about the search for revenge, the truth and self-discovery, this novel will keep you wanting more. Abbott called it “a dark, ut-terly captivating crime novel that holds you from cover to cover.” Plus Boyle is an in-structor here at the university, making it doubly worth your time.
These are just a few books that you should pick up dur-ing spring break. Of course there are a lot more to choose from, but these are great starting points for those of you who are not sure what to read. Whether you are in the mood for a romance, crime and mystery or non-fiction, keep in mind that a novel is always a great way to pass the down time.

The tenth year of Ole Miss Idol ended Wednesday with sopho-more English major Michael Smith being named the winner amongst five other finalists.
Smith won the $500 grand prize in a sing-off with junior lib-eral arts major Justine Ibale in the food court of the Student Union.
Competitive singing is nothing new to Smith, who appeared on the popular television show Amer-ican Idol and was among the final
48 contestants in Hollywood. Smith said he made it to the
finals of Ole Miss Idol using his previous Idol experience.
“I feel really happy, and it’s nice to have a little more financial sta-bility,” Smith, a native of Lumber-ton, said after winning Wednes-day night. “I love to sing, so even if there was no prize I still would have done it.”
In the final round, Smith sang “Heart Attack” by Trey Songz while Ibale sang “My Heart Will Go On” by Celine Dion.
Smith originally intended to
sing “Breakeven” by The Script but said there was an “unforeseen roadblock.”
“The ‘Breakeven’ track wasn’t working. So we changed ‘So Sick’ to the first track,” Smith said af-ter the contest Wednesday. “I hadn’t practiced ‘Heart Attack’ in months.”
Even the recording of “Heart Attack,” the song Smith won the sing-off with, proved to be prob-lematic when the volume on the speakers malfunctioned.
“It was a challenge,” he said, “When the instrumental didn’t
come through as clear as I expect-ed it to, it kind of threw me off, but I don’t believe in excuses. Do what you can with what you got.”
Smith’s mom is a choir show di-rector, so Smith has received vocal instruction almost all his life.
“It was a lot of ‘That was ter-rible. Do that again,’” he said. “She’s very straightforward with you, and it’s very good to have. Not somebody who says, ‘Oh, you’re so awesome,’ all the time. Don’t get me wrong, she encour-ages me where she should, but she pulls me down when she needs
Former American Idol contestant winsOle Miss Idol
The HungerU interactive mobile exhibit rolled in front of the Student Union yesterday to inform students about the prev-alence and effects of hunger worldwide. The exhibit will also be parked in front of the union from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. today in an effort to bring attention to the growing problem of world hunger.
The global population is es-timated to reach 9.6 billion people by 2050, according to a 2013 United Nations report. This increase gives the world’s resources 2 billion more mouths to feed.
The mobile exhibit will utilize flat-screen displays, interactive kiosks and pedal tractors to en-courage discussion.
Melissa Baumgartner, public relations account coordinator
for HungerU, played a role in bringing the exhibit to The Uni-versity of Mississippi.
“HungerU connects with col-lege students and educates them on the important role of modern agriculture and how it affects the worlds food crisis,” Baumgart-ner said. “The tour will visit several campuses this spring and hopes that the engagement and conversation continues and em-powers students to take action in their communities.”
HungerU is operated by the Farm Journal Foundation, a nonprofit that aims to sustain agriculture’s ability to accom-modate a rapidly growing popu-lation through education and empowerment.
Anne McCauley, assistant di-rector of the UM Office of Sus-tainability, helped schedule the visit.
“The field of sustainabil-ity encompasses so many issues
that we simply cannot touch on everything, though all related issues are critically important,” McCauley said. “It is difficult to have to choose which causes we can promote, and so a way that we can bring awareness to issues like world hunger is to work with those like HungerU, who are al-ready doing great work to en-gage people with these issues.”
Students, like general stud-ies major Abi Lako, have also shown interest in the subject.
“I think that more people should take action, especially by helping out in their own com-munities because that’s where it all starts,” Lako said.
Junior Ashley Parker ex-pressed her concern for the is-sue.
“I think that so many people have so many unnecessary luxu-ries,” Parker said, “Hunger is the most vital part of survival. We live in a world where buy-
ing an iPhone, a new TV or a new car is more important than a mother and her child having food. We should try to fix (hun-ger) or at least be more aware of it and understand it better.”
HungerU kicked off its spring tour at Auburn University on Feb. 27. It will take its mobile exhibit through eight states over the next two months. For more information on the HungerU exhibit and spring tour, visit www.hungerU.com.

Seeing Turner comfortable with members in the group despite their race changed Edney for the better.
“What bringing Brooks into Alpha Phi Alpha did for me was that it held up a mirror for me,” Edney said. “It kind of challenged me to start evaluating people on an individual basis. It made me realize that I was doing some of the same things that bring me so much frustration as an African-American man. That when I saw (Turner) and felt that he needed to explain why he wanted to become member of Alpha Phi Alpha more than everybody else, I was doing the same when I enter into a room and I feel like I have to talk differently and use bigger words. It really brought my guard down.”
For Tuner, Alpha’s dedication to service and making the commu-nity a better place changed him both personally and profession-ally. He changed his major from chemical engineering to pre-med, a field allowing him the opportu-nity to influence people’s lives on a personal level. Turner changed as a result of joining Alpha, but he wasn’t the only one affected by his involvement in the fraternity.
“I formed a lot of relationships with people who are different from me, and realized that I, too, was only in my comfort zone,” Edney said. “Seeing how comfortable he was in an environment that could be considered as hostile made me understand that I can be comfort-able in those environments too. It helps you filter out those people who can either appreciate that or don’t.”
When Turner looks into the future of Greek life at Ole Miss, he hopes that prospective mem-bers will be judged by character instead of color, faith or cultural differences.
“We’re really not that differ-ent,” Turner said. “We are all dealing with the same issues as humans. We may approach them differently because of our back-grounds, but that doesn’t mean we should judge people. One day, society will no longer categorize people based on things they have no control over. Everyone should feel comfortable in their own skin and not feel like they have to fit a certain mold to be accepted.”
EDITOR’S NOTE: This is part two of a series examining race and the Greek system at The University of Mississippi. Part one ran in yesterday’s edition of The Daily Mississippian.

The No. 15 Ole Miss base-ball team will wrap up its 13-game homestand this week-end with a three-game series against Arkansas-Little Rock of the Sun Belt. The Rebels (11-2) are coming off a loss against Memphis, while the Trojans (8-2) enter the game
on a three-game winning streak.
Ole Miss will send junior right-hander Chris Ellis to the mound Friday. Ellis has made three starts on the year so far and holds a 2-0 record with an ERA of 0.00. He has given up just 10 hits and one unearned run in 22 innings of work.
UALR will most likely send senior left-hander Travis Mc-
Donald to the mound Friday. McDonald is 2-0 in three starts this season with a 1.72 ERA. In his 15.2 innings of work, he has given up 14 hits and three runs, while racking up 16 strikeouts.
The Rebels will then turn to redshirt sophomore left-hand-er Christian Trent on Satur-day. In his three starts this sea-son, he also holds a 2-0 record
and has a 2.66 ERA. He has worked 20.1 innings so far and leads the team with 19 strike-outs.
UALR will counter that with senior right-hander Ethan Schlechte, who is 1-0 on the year in three starts, but does enter the weekend with a 4.61 ERA. He has given up 13 hits and seven runs in 13.2 innings of work.
Junior right-hander Sam Smith will close things out on the rubber for the Rebels Sun-day. Smith is 2-0 in his three starts this season and holds a 1.65 ERA. In his 16.1 innings of work, he has given up 15 hits and three runs, while strik-ing out 10.
At the plate for the Tro-jans, junior Justin Steelmon will lead the way. He is hitting a team high .344. Two other Trojans to look out for will be junior Tanner Rockwell, who leads the team with two home runs and 12 RBI, and junior Mitchell Scheuler, who is sec-ond only to Rockwell with one home run and 10 RBI.
Ole Miss is led offensively by junior center fielder Auston Bousfield and senior catcher Will Allen.
Bousfield leads the team in average (.429), hits (24) and triples (2). He is also second on the team with 10 RBI and tied for second with two home runs on the year. Allen is the team leader in home runs (3) and RBI (19). He is also sec-ond with a .360 average.
First pitch for tonight’s se-ries opener is set for 6:30 p.m. Saturday’s contest will begin at 4 p.m., and Sunday’s series finale is set for a 1:30 p.m. first pitch.

Saturday is Senior Day for Ole Miss basketball, and there is only one player saying good-bye – Marshall Henderson. It is quite fitting that he’ll have the stage to himself.
Henderson is a rare breed; he’s the type of player who brought unparalleled excite-ment to a tame basketball pro-gram in his two years in Ox-ford.
“I know Marshall Henderson gets beat up a lot, but I’m tell-ing you, he’s one of my favorite players,” South Carolina head coach Frank Martin said earlier this season. “His charisma, his enthusiasm, the way he elevates his team in difficult moments is special.”
He was the main reason Ole Miss snapped an 11-year NCAA Tournament drought and a 32-year SEC tournament championship drought.
He broke an NCAA record last season by launching 394 threes, and he made 138 of them – 35 percent. He’s actual-ly attempting 1.3 more 3-point-ers this season and making them at a slightly higher per-centage, 35.9 percent.
He broke the SEC record for consecutive games with a 3-point field goal made; he’s currently at 63 games.
His intention to launch as many threes as he can has nev-er bothered his teammates.
“We don’t get frustrated at all. Marshall’s Marshall,” Mar-tavious Newby said after a win over Alabama. “That’s why he is here. The shots that every-body thinks are not going in, he hits.”
His teammates look for his shooting to lead them, or even save them.
“When Marshall’s in the game and starts scoring threes, that’s our salvation,” freshman forward Sebastian Saiz said before the LSU game this sea-
son. “When we’re struggling to score and Marshall scores a couple crazy shots that he (always does), that’s our salva-tion.”
He averaged 20.1 points per game last season and is at 19 this season. In two seasons, he has climbed to 20th on the all-time scoring list at Ole Miss. Every player ahead of him, except Gerald Glass, played at Ole Miss for at least three sea-sons.
Not only does he shoot and score, but Henderson is just fun. He’s taunted the Auburn student section, imitated the gator chomp and flipped off the crowd after getting elimi-nated from the NCAA tour-nament last season. And he’s always good for a spectacular quote.
“I’m trying to get paid here soon because I’m tired of doing all this stuff for free. And this is where you make your money, the NCAA tournament,” Hen-derson said before the NCAA tournament started last season.
After dropping 25 points in an 84-74 overtime win over Georgia last season, Hender-son didn’t have time for a press conference as he entered the media room and dropped just one line.
“All I’m saying is: It’s Satur-day night, and I’m out.”
He doesn’t need extra in-struction to shoot, but appar-ently he gets it.
“Some guy in the front row behind me said, ‘Shoot it, Marshall!’ That’s all I need to hear,” Henderson said after scoring 29 points in a win over Missouri this season.
That’s Marshall Henderson. His time at Ole Miss is almost up. Ole Miss hosts Vanderbilt Saturday at 12:30 p.m. It is the last regular season game for Henderson in a Rebel jersey.
Ole Miss is going to play at least once in the SEC Tourna-ment and could secure an NIT bid that could see Ole Miss
host another game.But come Saturday night,
Henderson may have played his last game in the Tad Smith
Coliseum. It will be Marshall Henderson Day, and he may only have to say, “It’s Saturday night, and I’m out.”
