Rebels Draw Familiar Opponent in 2023 Big 12/SEC Challenge
The matchups for the 2023 Big 12/SEC Challenge were released on Thursday, and Ole Miss will face a familiar opponent in the college basketball event.
The Rebels have seen Oklahoma State across multiple sports in recent years, and they will travel to Stillwater to take on the Cowboys in 2023. Jon Rothstein was the first to report the news.
The matchups for the challenge are as follows:
Arkansas Razorbacks at Baylor Bears
Kansas Jayhawks at Kentucky Wildcats
Texas Longhorns at Tennessee Volunteers
TCU Horned Frogs at Mississippi State Bulldogs
Alabama Crimson Tide at Oklahoma Sooners
Auburn Tigers at West Virginia Mountaineers
Ole Miss Rebels at Oklahoma State Cowboys
Florida Gators at Kansas State Wildcats
Iowa State Hawkeyes at Missouri Tigers
Texas Tech Red Raiders at LSU Tigers
The Rebels and Cowboys have met three times before – all at neutral sites – with their most recent meeting coming at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Nov. 29, 2019 as part of the NIT Tipoff Championship.
The Ole Miss Rebels are looking to put last season behind them and open up 2022-23 with a win. The team lost nine of its last 10 games to close out the year, but luckily the only way to go is up after a 13-19 finish.
The Rebels were the second worst scoring offense in the conference last season (68.1 points), but are returning some major contributors that are in position to improve upon positives from last year.
