Although the Ole Miss basketball team gave a valiant effort in the SEC tournament this weekend, winning over South Carolina and losing a close game against runner-up LSU, the Rebels were not selected to dance in the NCAA Tournament for the 2020-2021 season.
On Thursday, Ole Miss faced the South Carolina Gamecocks and routed them, 76-59. The next day, the Rebels were in a must-win situation against the LSU Tigers, and the team put together about as great of a performance as it has throughout the entire season. Junior guard Jarkel Joiner led the team with 26 points and a monster 40-minute performance.
