Ole Miss baseball will start the 2017 season facing challenges right off the bat. In their first month alone, the Rebels face nationally ranked and Omaha-contending schools, as well as a pair of off-the-radar but still dangerous small conference teams. The transition into March should be worth watching as non-conference contests turn into heated conference play.
The Rebels begin things early in March with a bid at the Shriners Hospitals for Children College Classic starting March 3. The three-day series will pit Mike Bianco and his team against three top Big 12 schools. The first game will be against Baylor, which is good news for Ole Miss as it is the weakest team on the Rebels’ slate.
