Similar Standing
Ole Miss and Mizzou share a similar situation. The road has not been kind to either of these teams with Ole Miss, and the Tigers losing seven out of eight of their away games. A recent 3-win streak helped push the Rebels out of a 1-8 stretch. That was before falling to Kentucky last Saturday.
Power Players
Leading the Rebels on offense is senior guard Breein Tyree, who currently boasts 19.9 points per game. Next in scoring for Ole Miss in scoring is junior guard Devontae Shuler, scoring 11.6 points per game and leads his team’s assists with 3.4.

Following him is his brother, junior forward Mitchell Smith, leading the team’s rebounds at 4.9 per game.

Ole Miss and Missouri have been slowly finding their rhythm in recent games. The Tigers’ astounding upset of the then No.11 Auburn on their homecourt has helped give the team momentum going into their next game. Ole Miss coach Kermit Davis has shown gusto and led the Rebels to pull off some impressive conference wins against difficult opponents like Mississippi State and Florida.
Missouri and Ole Miss enter tonight’s game ready to blow. Whatever happens after tonight will be a good indication of what’s to come in the looming SEC Tournament. As of right now, both teams straddle a .500 record, and both have everything to gain by winning tonight’s matchup.
The Missouri Tigers host the Ole Miss Rebels tonight in a heated SEC matchup. Tipoff for tonight’s game is scheduled for 8:30.
