Ole Miss and Mississippi State both enter Saturday’s tipoff on three game losing streaks in one of the oldest college basketball rivalries in the nation.
The Rebels (8-6, 0-2 SEC) have lost six of its last eight after starting the season 6-0 sending the season into a tailspin that head coach Kermit Davis is desperately trying to correct to save his job at Ole Miss. The Bulldogs (11-3, 0-2 SEC) started its season 11-0 and climbed into the top 15 nationally before its three game skid gave the program a collective kick to the groin.
