Matthew Murrell, a guard for the Rebels, has been on fire in their previous games. In their most recent matchup against Southern Miss Golden Eagles, Murrell showcased his skills with an impressive performance. He scored 26 points, dished out 5 assists, and grabbed 3 rebounds. Murrell's shooting was also on point, with a field goal percentage of 60% and a three-point percentage of 50%. His contributions were crucial in securing the win for the Rebels.


But Murrell isn't the only player to watch out for on the Rebels' roster. Allen Flanigan, Cam Brent, Jaylen Murray, and Austin Nunez have all been consistent performers in their past few games. Flanigan has been a force to be reckoned with on both ends of the court, contributing 10 points, 4 assists, and 11 rebounds in their game against Southern Miss Golden Eagles.


The Rebels' average performance over their last three games has been impressive as well. They have shown great teamwork and skill, with an average of 73 points per game. Their shooting percentages have also been solid, with a field goal percentage of 45% and a three-point percentage of 40%. The team's ability to move the ball effectively is evident in their average of 15 assists per game.


On the other side of the court, the Vanderbilt Commodores will be looking to make an impact in this upcoming game. Evan Taylor and Isaiah West have been key players for them in their previous matchups. Taylor, a guard-forward, has shown his versatility with 5 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 steals in their game against Western Carolina Catamounts.


The Commodores' performance over their last three games has been solid but not as impressive as the Rebels'. They have averaged 62 points per game and have struggled with their shooting percentages, with a field goal percentage of 38% and a three-point percentage of 25%. However, they have shown resilience on defense, averaging 7 steals per game.


As the Ole Miss Rebels take on the Vanderbilt Commodores, all eyes will be on Matthew Murrell to lead his team to victory. His exceptional performance in the previous games has showcased his ability to make an impact on both ends of the court. However, the Commodores won't go down without a fight, and players like Evan Taylor and Isaiah West will be looking to make their mark.


Fans can catch all the action on January 13th at The Pavilion at Ole Miss or tune in to SEC Network for a national broadcast. It's sure to be an intense matchup between these two talented teams.
