Steve Denton mentioned. “It will be a special day for our only senior, Anish Srineketh, who has been a great leader for our team for the past two years. We will want to play our best tomorrow against a very good Ole Miss team who beat us at the National Indoors in February. I’ll be very interested to see how much our team has progressed since we first met. Should be a great family weekend; let’s pack Mitchell at 1:00 p.m. tomorrow!”
