Our guys were very determined to win the conference, said head coach, Jeff Kidder. Now weve just got to focus on nationals. Having tough defense may be the reason the Rebels could come back and win the conference. The Rebels have the best defense in the SWAC with their opponents only scoring 63.17 a game.
