In this story:

The Ole Miss Rebels took a hit to the chin the last time they hit the hardwood, falling to the Memphis Tigers 87-70 at the FedEx Forum. Now, they will look to regroup as they play host to the Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC opener.

Ole Miss (11-2) has largely navigated non-conference play successfully outside of its recent loss to Memphis and a two-point loss to Purdue on Black Friday. Still, it was conference play that sank the Rebels last season, and they will need to make a run in a loaded SEC if they hope to reach the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2019.

Georgia also successfully navigated its non-conference slate, entering this weekend's game with a 12-1 record. The Bulldogs' lone loss of the season came on Nov. 23 in an 80-69 final score against Marquette.
