Exams are finished, and the Rebels can finally focus on things that actually matter — building back their crumbling NCAA tournament résumé. Ole Miss dropped two consecutive overtime games in a row, the last coming in an 83-80 loss to ACC contender Virginia Tech. Middle Tennessee already has an SEC win, a 66-63 road victory Wednesday at Vanderbilt.
For Ole Miss to get a Ken Pom top 100 road win, they’ll need to stop Nick King. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because King left the Memphis program and chose Alabama over Ole Miss before using his graduate transfer to arrive in Murfreesboro.
