Ole Miss basketball has put itself in a great position to make it to the NCAA Tournament in March. However, they still have a job to do, and they have two road games they are expected to win next, the first against LSU.
The Rebels hold a 6-6 record against Quad 1 teams, with most of the losses being close ones. Against teams outside of Quad 1, the Rebels are unbeaten, sitting with an 11-0 record. LSU is ranked in Quad 2 and has a 0-9 record against Quad 1 teams.
The Tigers are on a five-game losing streak, and their last win came home to a poor Arkansas team. That is their only SEC win so far, and they have already lost to Ole Miss at the Pavilion, going down 77-65.
Malik Dia had one of his best games for the Rebels that night, scoring 19 points and having seven rebounds. Jaemyn Brakefield had a 16-point game off the bench, with three others having double-digit scoring games.
Back-to-back wins over LSU and South Carolina will not improve their rank, with both teams combining for just one SEC win. However, losing these games can harm your resume, so it's crucial for the Rebels tonight.
