Ole Miss football and basketball records against the new SEC teams Oklahoma and Texas

Today was the day Texas and Oklahoma officially joined the Southeastern Conference, despite everybody knowing about it for some time. This makes the SEC more stacked than ever, with football and basketball set to have some extra rivalries from 2024 onwards.

Ole Miss men's and women's basketball will play Texas and Oklahoma at home during the 2024-25 regular season, and Ole Miss football will take on Oklahoma in the 2024 regular season. However, what records do we hold against each of the new SEC teams?

Ole Miss football

vs. Texas - record 1-6

This series has been one-sided, with Texas leading 6-1. These two teams last met in football in 2013, when Ole Miss won 44-23. However, the Rebels vacated that game, which does not count on the series record. The year before, in 2012, Texas won 66-31 in Oxford, with the Longhorns having seven different touchdown scorers.

vs. Oklahoma - record 1-0

The only game of football these two have played against one another came in the 1999 Independence Bowl, with Ole Miss winning 27-25. After being down 21-3 at halftime, it was up to a familiar face in the SEC to pull Oklahoma back into it. Current Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel was the Sooners' signal caller but couldn't help secure the comeback win.

Ole Miss men's basketball

vs. Texas - record 6-9

Another losing record against Texas, this time in men's basketball. They last met during the 2017-18 season, with the Longhorns coming out on top 85-72. The 2018 NBA Draft No. 6 overall pick, Mo Bamba, helped significantly with a double-double game.

vs. Oklahoma - record 2-3

Down 2-3 in the series against Oklahoma, Ole Miss last played the Sooners during the 2022-23 season, losing 59-55. The season after their game against Texas in 2017-18, they played Oklahoma in the first round of the 2019 NCAA Tournament. They were blown away 95-72, with the Sooners falling in the second round to eventual champions, Virginia.

Ole Miss women's basketball

vs. Texas - record 1-6

With the Lady Rebels losing the last two games in the series, they will hope to stop the trend when Texas joins the SEC this season. They last faced off during the 2009-2010 season, losing 64-58 to the Longhorns. Shantell Black led the scoring for Ole Miss with 16 points.

vs, Oklahoma - record 2-3

Like against Texas, Ole Miss has lost their last two meetings against Oklahoma. During the 2023-24 season, they met in game 2, losing 80-70, with the season before also losing by a 10-point margin, 69-59. In the two games combined, Snudda Collins had 31 points and five rebounds.

It's been tough when we have matched up against Texas and Oklahoma in football and basketball. Ole Miss baseball is 3-0 against both teams overall since 2020, with the Rebels going 2-0 against the Sooners in the College World Series Final in 2022.

Now that we will be playing them regularly in the future, we can change these records around quickly.
