  on three. Ale Miss is added Mark Adams to its basketball staff, who
• 0:13
  coached with Chris Beard from twenty sixteen to twenty twenty one. Adams was named
• 0:17
  the AP Big Twelve Coach of the Year in twenty twenty two. So Chris

  Beard continuing to add players and coaches to this basketball team. Yeah, he,
• 0:25
  you know, as we saw with any coach that comes in, especially
• 0:28
  when it was coaching at the level he was, he wants to you know,
• 0:31
  he kept some ale Miss guys that were on the staff previously and win
• 0:34
  case and then he brought in, you know, playing again from Auburn.

• 1:07
  in the portal with getting a lot of experience, a lot of older guys
• 1:10
  with tons of games under their belt to try to make that run. You
• 1:14
  know, they got kind of back to the bubble a little close to the
• 1:17
  tournament, but just kind of sputtered at the end, and I think he
• 1:19
  wants to make this year they go back dancing and in this will be close

  to about a sixty five or six year drought since they've been in THENAA tournament
