So how bout that regional draw, huh? Ole Miss did end up getting a two seed, but they got plunked down in Los Angeles with the tournament's top overall seed, UCLA. The other two teams are Maryland, who got all the way to the Big Ten championship game, and Cal State Bakersfield, who won the WAC. So yea, this ain't gonna be easy.
Which is fitting for a team that finished the season with the country's most difficult strength of schedule. The good news is that if anybody's battle tested enough to go into L.A. and leave with a win, its a Rebel group that's already trekked to Louisville, Baton Rouge, Fayetteville, Nashville and Columbia.
