Ole Miss basketball plays its final regular season game at the Pavilion, taking on No.4 ranked Tennessee. With No.5 Florida in the season's final game, a win against Tennessee would give them a solid seed for March Madness and a first-round bye in the SEC Tournament.
The Rebels are coming off a late win over Oklahoma at home, a game they made much closer than it should have been. That is likely due to the nerves after losing its last three games, with the Sooners seen as a must-win due to the upcoming opponents.

Ole Miss vs. No. 5 Tennessee
SENIOR NIGHT
Last chance to PACK THE PAVILION!!!#HottyToddy x #Culture
Chris Beard's side won the vital win thanks to a clutch three-pointer by Sean Pedulla. It gives the Rebels some breathing space heading into these two games, knowing they are NCAA Tournament-bound for the first time since 2019.
Despite the outstanding achievement being secured, Beard will expect a professional attitude heading into the final games. A win over the Volunteers on Senior Night will boost momentum.
Tennessee offers a tough assignment, winning its last four games, including a win over No.7 Alabama. They have lost road games at Kentucky and Vanderbilt, so Ole Miss has some hope of beating the fourth-best team in the country.
Zakai Zeigler is a player the Rebels need to keep quiet about. The senior guard leads the team in assists (7.2) and steals (2.0) per game. Zeigler is also averaging 13.7 points per game, second to Chaz Lanier (17.8).
Can Ole Miss cause an upset and secure a higher seeding in the NCAA Tournament?
