The Ole Miss men’s basketball team was not selected in the Field of 68 for this year’s NCAA Tournament, but they could still need their dancing shoes.
Following the announcement of the tournament’s full field, Ole Miss was named one of the First Four Out and the No. 4 COVID-19 replacement team.
Louisville, Colorado State and Saint Louis are three teams ahead of the Rebels. Should a team be unable to travel to Indianapolis and play in their scheduled first round game, one of the four replacement teams will receive their spot. The deadline to be selected as a replacement team is Tuesday.
