The 2020-21 Ole Miss basketball season is set to get underway later this month, and will honor a former player in the process.
The school announced the Justin Reed Ole Miss Classic will take place Nov. 25 through 27 with the men’s program hosting Arkansas State, Central Arkansas and Jackson State during Thanksgiving week. The event serves as the Rebels’ season opener after the NCAA announced the men’s and women’s basketball season would not start until Nov. 25 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The tournament is in honor of Justin Reed, who played for the Rebels from 2001 to 2004 and was a four-year starter.
