Ole Miss will host a basketball exhibition against Mississippi College on November 4th. That’s less than a month away!
So what better time to talk about the non-conference schedule the Rebels will face?
Depending on schedule strengths, entire college basketball seasons are sometimes decided before conference play even begins. Losing to a couple of clunkers or beating major powers goes a long way, even months after conference play has started. Think about the hot start Ole Miss got off to last season with a 10-2 non-conference record followed by winning its first three conference games - the Rebels were regularly selected as tournament worthy from then on despite some dips in performance.
