Ole Miss basketball is undefeated when it plays teams ranked in the top 25. That’s a fact working in this team’s favor as the season comes to a close.
Another fact is the Rebels have stubbed its proverbial toe against the likes of Dayton, Wichita State, Georgia (twice), Mississippi State, and most recently Vanderbilt. Right now, these six losses collectively are defining the season rather than the record the squad has compiled (13-10, 8-8 SEC).
Take one or two of those losses away, and Rebel fans could be breathing a little easier about its chances to make the NCAA Tournament.
