AUSTIN -- In a highly-anticipated SEC matchup, former Texas Longhorns head coach Chris Beard and the No. 23 Ole Miss Rebels will welcome Rodney Terry and the 'Horns to Oxford on Wednesday night.

The game marks the first meeting against Texas for Beard since he was fired by the program on Jan. 5, 2023. He finished his time at Texas with a 29-13 record before being let go prior to the completion of his second season with the team.

Ole Miss (15-5, 4-3) is coming off of its third straight loss while the Longhorns are coming off of their best win of the season after stunning No. 13 Texas A&M with a 70-69 comeback victory.

Texas guard Tre Johnson, who scored a career-high 30 points in the win over the Aggies, met with the media Tuesday and previewed Ole Miss.

"Excited to go down there and play, just because it's the next game," Johnson said. "We know the relationship between both programs, and we know that they came off a few losses, so they're going to be kind of a desperate team trying to get back on and get started, and plus, it's kind of like a rivalry game, I could say. Just being ready to go down there and know that there's gonna be punches, and we're on our home floor, so we might not get calls, and being ready to go through any type of adversity."

INJURY REPORT

Ole Miss guard Matthew Murrell was listed as questionable on the initial student-athlete availability report Tuesday. For Texas, forward Arthur Kaluma is probable with a knee injury while guard Chendall Weaver remains out with a hip flexor injury.
