No. 4 Ole Miss (22-7) defeated No. 5 Florida (21-9) 70-60 to advance to the semi-finals in the SEC tournament. This is the first time the Rebels will be in the SEC tournament semifinals since 1993 and are looking to continue to run the table under fourth year head coach Yollet Mcphee-Mccuin.
The Rebels shot effectively from the field, shooting right at 40% and shot 76% from the free throw line, which is just about under their season average. The Rebels needed everything from senior center Sharkia Austin to help push them over the top against a resilient Florida Gators squad.
