Coming off back-to-back wins, the Alabama Crimson Tide will travel once again this upcoming Wednesday, doing so in Oxford for a SEC showdown against the Ole Miss Rebels.
A matchup which Alabama has owned in recent years, the Crimson Tide have won seven of the last eight matchups between the two dating back to the 2018-19 season. It is Ole Miss however that won the most recent contest in the series, a 74-64 road victory in Tuscaloosa just last season for a Rebels team which reached the Sweet 16.
The Rebels have struggled this year though, and as a result, Ole Miss likely needs to make a run to end the regular season in order to improve their chances at making the NCAA Tournament for a second consecutive year.
Here is a look at everything you need to know about Alabama's next opponent, the Ole Miss Rebels.
The Rebels have struggled up to this point in the season, currently sitting a game below .500 at 11-12 overall. At the moment, Ole Miss also owns a 3-7 record in SEC action, and the Rebels come into Wednesday's contest currently riding a five-game losing streak.
The head coach at Ole Miss is Chris Beard, who is currently in year three with the Rebels. Beard owns a combined record of 55-36 overall during his time in Oxford with one NCAA Tournament appearance.
Ole Miss comes into Wednesday's matchup averaging 73.9 points per game offensively, a number which ranks last in the SEC. The Rebels most noteworthy stat is also their combined average of 4.4 blocks per game as a team, a total which ranks among the middle of the SEC.
The Rebels have three players who are currently averaging double figures this season in AJ Storr, Malik Dia, and Ilias Kamardine, each of which are seniors. Dia is also a key name to know on the glass, as the forward leads Ole Miss at 6.1 rebounds per game, along with Corey Chest and James Scott.
