Ole Miss Coach Chris Beard Praises Hubert Davis: 'Feels Like Dean Smith’s Sitting Over There'

Posted Mar 21, 2025
"Carolina's a special team," Ole Miss basketball coach Chris Beard said ahead of Friday's matchup against UNC. "It starts with their coach. A lot of respect for Coach (Hubert Davis) and everything he's done in basketball. I used to love to watch him as a player. The way they can get the ball up the court, it feels like Dean Smith's still sitting over there." (247 Sports)
