In their last encounter with Texas A&M Aggies, the Rebels fell short, scoring 53 points against the Aggies' 72. Despite showcasing resilience with ten steals and seven blocks, they struggled offensively – shooting only 36 percent from the field and a concerning 57 percent from the free-throw line. Their two-point conversion rate stood at just 34 percent.


The subsequent away game against South Carolina Gamecocks was even more challenging for Ole Miss. They managed only 56 points compared to South Carolina's dominant 85 points performance. Turnovers were particularly problematic; they committed an alarming total of twenty-one while assisting on just four occasions – an assist-turnover ratio that needs immediate attention.

However, there was a glimmer of hope in their next game against Vanderbilt Commodores where they secured a victory with a score of 67-61. This win showcased improved field goal shooting at around 43 percent and an impressive free-throw percentage of approximately eighty-three percent which could be crucial in tight games.


With these statistics in mind, it's clear that consistency is key for Ole Miss going into this matchup. Reducing turnovers and capitalizing on scoring opportunities will be essential strategies if they wish to overcome Georgia's challenge.
