The first month of the baseball season is complete, and now the stretch of the season that truly matters for No. 4 Ole Miss begins this weekend.
The Rebels host Auburn for opening weekend of Southeastern Conference play. Despite having success through the bulk of their non-conference slate, there are still some questions that need to be answered, if Ole Miss is to be a contender for a trip to Omaha and a national championship.
Last weekend, Ole Miss (14-3) took two of three games from UL-Monroe before losing 8-3 in the series finale on Sunday. The loss did not hurt the Rebels too much in the rankings, mostly staying inside the top-5 in all the polls, but the inability to hit and some questionable bunt defense brought back issues that arose in their series loss to Central Florida.
