In their last game against the Golden Bears, the Rebels demonstrated offensive prowess with an impressive 88 points and a field goal percentage of 53. They also excelled beyond the arc, hitting 57 percent of their three-point attempts. Their defense was not to be overlooked either; they managed to block six shots and steal nine times from their opponents.


The previous game saw them on the road against UCF Knights where they narrowly secured a victory with 70 points. Despite a lower field goal percentage of 44 compared to their latest outing, they were able to convert free throws at a rate of 71 percent and maintained solid defensive pressure with eight steals.


Earlier in December, playing at home against Mount St. Mary's Mountaineers, Ole Miss scored 77 points while shooting efficiently from both two-point (54 percent) and three-point range (33 percent). Their defense was formidable with seven blocks and eleven steals contributing significantly to an overall well-rounded team performance.


The trends suggest that Ole Miss is finding its rhythm both offensively and defensively as they continue through the season. With consistent scoring above 70 points in recent games and showing tenacity on defense, fans can expect them to leverage these strengths when facing Bryant Bulldogs.


The upcoming game is scheduled for December 31st at The Pavilion at Ole Miss in Oxford, Mississippi. Fans eager to catch all the action can tune into SEC Network for live coverage starting from nine o'clock local time.
