The 2016 season has been a big one for the Rebels. The 40-16 regular season record was the fourth 40-win regular season in program history. The Rebels went 18-12 in SEC play as well as 3-1 in the SEC Tournament with their run ending in the semifinals after a 12-8 loss to #1 Texas A&M. Of those 40 wins, six of them came against national top-8 seeds, including two against #2 Louisville early in the season. The Rebels won six SEC series, including three sweeps (Arkansas, Auburn, Kentucky), and a big time series win against #8 LSU.
