Ole Miss men's basketball faces North Carolina in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, the first time they have played in the tournament since 2019.
The Rebels come in as the No.6 seed with the Tar Heels No.11 and needing a play-in win over San Diego State. Most of the media were surprised that the ACC team was allowed to make the final 64. However, they are here and will be hoping they can prove the doubters wrong.
Chris Beard's side hopes to channel some of their best performances this season, which has seen them beat two of the top five opponents. They should have their place in the second round if they can do that.
