Will the Rebels Conquer the Bulldogs at Humphrey Coliseum?

As the Ole Miss Rebels gear up for their next challenge against the Mississippi State Bulldogs at Humphrey Coliseum, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their impressive performance streak. The Rebels have been showcasing a strong offensive game, with a recent victory over Southern Miss where they scored 89 points and maintained a field goal percentage of 49 percent. Their three-point shooting was particularly notable, hitting 58 percent from beyond the arc.

The team's defensive efforts have also been commendable; in their last three games, they've averaged over 10 steals per game, which has contributed significantly to points off turnovers. Against Troy, they managed to turn this defensive pressure into 32 points off turnovers alone.


Rebounding has been another area where Ole Miss has excelled. They consistently out-rebounded their opponents in recent games and will look to dominate the boards once again against Mississippi State.

One aspect that could play a crucial role is how well Ole Miss handles playing away from home. While they've shown resilience on neutral grounds and at home, Humphrey Coliseum presents a new atmosphere that could test the Rebels' composure.


Fans can expect an intense matchup as both teams vie for supremacy on February 22nd at Humphrey Coliseum in Starkville. With ESPN2 broadcasting nationally starting at 9:00 PM ET (8:00 PM local time), supporters won't miss any of the action as these two rivals clash on court.
