Vandy knocking off Mizzou in the opening game of the SEC Tourney put even more pressure on Ole Miss, which is doing some unexpected sweating during an unprecedentedly crowded hosting race.

Ole Miss advances to play South Carolina on Wednesday. There's an outside shot that a win there would bump the Rebs in front of the Gamecocks in the national seed.
