Ole Miss basketball men's and women's teams have made the NCAA Tournament at the same time for the first time in program history. Things are cooking down in Oxford, and both will look to go far in the tournament.
Men's head coach Chris Beard has got his team to the dance in his second season. It's been six years since the men's team made the NCAA Tournament, and they are seeded No.6 in the South.
Beard's teams still do not know who they will play in the first round. They will take on either Sand Diego State or North Carolina, who will face off in a play-in to determine the No.11 seed. The Tar Heels were a surprise inclusion, having a below-par season. If the Rebels progress to the second round, they will play Iowa State or Lipscomb.
The women's team under head coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin has made it four consecutive seasons in the Tournament. They are the No.4 seed missing out on hosting in the early rounds.
Coach Yo's side face Ball State, the No.12 seed. If they make it past the Cardinals, they will face either Baylor or Grand Canyon. Notre Dame knocked The Lady Rebels out in the second round in 2024.
