After a disappointing series sweep in Gainesville, the Rebels kicked off a five game homestand last night with a win against Jacksonville State. Three consecutive losses to the top-ranked Florida Gators dropped Ole Miss only two spots to No. 20 in the nation coming into the game. Ole Miss, claiming one of the toughest schedules in the NCAA, entered the matchup against Jacksonville State with 31 wins. The Gamecocks of JSU began the day with 34.
The matchup of high-energy offenses began on a sore note for the Rebels.
