Ole Miss endured a rugged stretch to begin SEC play as its front-loaded schedule included Kentucky and Florida in its first two games followed by road tests at Auburn and South Carolina, with Georgia at home in between. It equated to a 1-4 start in league play, but the Rebels survived and have now won back-to-back SEC contests against Tennessee and Missouri as they find themselves in a crucial stretch.
Ole Miss (12-7, 3-4) welcomes Texas A&M (10-8, 2-5) on Wednesday night as it tries to get back to the .500 mark in SEC play. It will likely do so without senior guard Rasheed Brooks, who has not participated in any physical activity since collapsing on the floor and suffering a seizure in a game against Tennessee.
