The Rebels have shown a mixed bag of results in their past games. In their most recent outing against Memphis Tigers, they fell short with 57 points against the Tigers' 68, despite a strong second half where they outscored their first-half performance by 13 points. Their field goal percentage stood at 33 percent and from beyond the arc, they managed only 25 percent. However, they excelled at free throws with a commendable 77 percent completion rate.


In contrast, during their game before last against Oklahoma Sooners, Ole Miss managed to keep it close but were edged out by just four points (55-59). They showed improvement in field goal accuracy hitting 45 percent overall and an impressive three-point shooting performance at 33 percent.


One notable victory came when they hosted Siena Saints and triumphed with a score of 74-62. This game highlighted their potential as they shot an impressive field goal percentage of 50 and dominated both offensive rebounds and points in paint.


The upcoming game will test whether Ole Miss can capitalize on its home-court advantage at The Pavilion—a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere that often acts as a catalyst for the team's performance. Consistency has been elusive for the Rebels; however, if they can harness some of their high-scoring energy from previous wins while tightening up defense, there is every chance for success.


Fans can catch this thrilling matchup on December 10th at eight o'clock in the evening local time on SEC Network channel number six hundred eleven or attend live to experience all the action firsthand from Oxford city within Mississippi state.
