Coach Kermit Davis and Ole Miss basketball began the 20-21 season strong but stumbled when they opened SEC play at Alabama.
Ole Miss basketball (5-2, 0-1) started strong in the 2020-21 season. The Rebels had begun so well in fact, they had the No.1 scoring defense in the nation coming into Wednesday nights matchup in Tuscaloosa. Ole Miss has quality wins over Jackson State and Middle Tennessee and their only loss was a 65-62 decision on the road at Dayton.
