Ole Miss basketball heads into the final game of the regular season on a high. Back-to-back home wins over Oklahoma and No.4 Tennessee means they will have a first-round bye in the SEC Tournament.
The two-point win over the Volunteers was huge for Chris Beard's team. It is the second win over a top 5 opponent this season, and it has been long since that happened in Oxford. It resulted in a court storming, harshly setting back the program $500,000. Conversely, it means the Rebels could have a good seed for the NCAA Tournament.
The other top-five-ranked win came on the road against Alabama, so Florida will be wary of what the Rebels can do. Florida is coming into the game with a win over Alabama, but three games ago, they lost to a struggling Georgia on the road. That was one of its four losses this season, and they have lost at home to Missouri.
Florida guard Walter Clayton Jr. leads the team in points per game with 17.0, with Alijah Martin on 14.5. Clayton also leads the team in assists with 4.5 per game. Rebounding will be a key part of the game, with the Gators' Alex Condon a fantastic under the nets, averaging 7.7 per game.
Ole Miss go into the game relaxed after winning the last two games. Can they cause an almighty shock in Gainesville?
