The Ole Miss Rebels began their SEC season with games against the two best teams in the conference. They lost a game against the Kentucky Wildcats at The Pavilion. Then they proceeded to travel to Gainesville, FL. and lost to the Florida Gators. Both games were not considered by most as legitimately winnable games.
However, if Coach Andy Kennedy and the Rebels hope to return to the NCAA tournament they will have to not only pull out an upset or two, but they have to win the games they are supposed to win. Losing game against teams with lower RPI rankings will stymie Ole Miss’ chance for the post season.
