Ole Miss basketball is going dancing.
The Rebels will head to Columbia, South Carolina as an 8 seed, facing off against 9 seed Oklahoma. The Sooners went 19-13 this season and finished 7th in the Big 12.
Following a four-year hiatus, the Rebels are back in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament after compiling 20 wins, a sixth-place finish in the SEC and a top-40 NET ranking. To cap off the season, the Southeastern Conference and the Associated Press rewarded head coach Kermit Davis with SEC Coach of the Year.
This is the first time since 2002 that Ole Miss will enter the tournament with a true at-large bid.
