While the Rebel football program takes on Texas Tech in Houston on Wednesday, the hardwood Rebs will tip off its conference schedule against No. Tennessee.

There is no easy lead into league play in the SEC, but it is especially difficult starting off against a top 10 team... at least the Rebels are at home?

Ole Miss finished the first portion of its schedule an underwhelming 8-4. There were only two wins with any type of clout: Stanford and Temple. That is simply because they are historically good programs. In reality there is nothing impressive about beating mediocre teams.
