The Rebels have shown a mix of results in their past few outings. In their most recent game against Oklahoma Sooners, they fell short with 55 points compared to the Sooners' 59. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways; notably, their two-point shooting was solid at approximately 52 percent and they managed to convert all free throw attempts. However, turnovers were an issue as they matched Oklahoma with 12 apiece.


In contrast, during their semifinal match-up against Siena Saints, Ole Miss showcased what they're capable of when firing on all cylinders. They dominated with a score of 74 points and impressive stats across the board: two-point shooting over 57 percent and field goals at an even 50 percent while maintaining a higher assist-to-turnover ratio than Siena.


Earlier still against Stanford Cardinal, Ole Miss secured another victory scoring 72 points and once again demonstrating efficient shooting from inside the arc at over 53 percent and maintaining a commendable assist-to-turnover ratio.


These statistics suggest that when Ole Miss controls turnovers and maximizes their interior scoring opportunities, they are tough to beat. The key for them will be consistency – replicating these performances under pressure at FedExForum will be crucial.


Fans can catch this exciting match-up on December 4th at half-past midnight UTC on ESPN2 (channel number not repeated). With both teams looking to assert dominance early in the season, it's sure to be an action-packed night of basketball that no fan will want to miss.
