How To Watch: Ole Miss Rebels Face Cal Golden Bears in Hall of Fame Series

The Ole Miss Rebels and California Golden Bears will square off in the 2023 Hall of Fame Series on Saturday night.
In this story:

The Ole Miss Rebels look to remain undefeated on the season on Saturday night when they face the California Golden Bears in the 2023 Hall of Fame Series in San Antonio.

The Rebels (9-0) cracked the Top 25 in the USA Today Coaches Poll this week, coming in at No. 25 on that list, but they have yet to enter the AP Top 25, although they did receive a strong amount of votes in the latest installment.

The last time Ole Miss took the court came in Orlando on Sunday when it escaped with a 70-68 win over the UCF Knights. The Rebels led 37-30 at halftime, and they held a 66-60 lead with just over a minute left in the game. UCF then made a late run and cut the Ole Miss lead to 68-67, and the Rebels' Matthew Murrell committed a costly turnover with under a minute remaining that gave a crucial possession to the Knights.

After a UCF timeout, the Ole Miss defense was able to force a huge stop and shot clock violation that sent Allen Flanigan to the free throw line for the Rebels. He sank both free throws with just over four seconds remaining, and the Rebels then purposefully fouled to set up a free throw opportunity for the Knights and eliminate a potential three-point play.

UCF sank one of its free throws, and Ole Miss turned the ball over on the inbound, giving the Knights what appeared to be the game-tying layup, but the clock expired before the ball left the hands of Marchelus Avery, securing yet another close win for the Rebels in the 2023-24 season.

Can the Rebels pick up their 10th win of the season on Saturday? Here's how you can watch and bet on the action in San Antonio.
