A sell out crowd is expected to watch Ole Miss and Memphis take the court this morning in the biggest basketball game of the season for the Rebels thus far.
The Rebels (5-2) are undefeated at home so far against mostly overmatched non-conference opponents, but the Tigers (5-2) come in as the No. 18 team in the country. Granted, Memphis just got shocked in Athens by a moribund Georgia team, and head coach Penny Hardaway could have them full of piss and vinegar when they arrive in Oxford.
Senior guard Jarkel Joiner leads the Rebels in points per game with 15.
