Ole Miss men head to SEC Tournament with NCAA Tournament hopes still alive

There is a simple, but easier said than done, solution for the Ole Miss men’s basketball team to make this year’s NCAA Tournament: just keep winning.

Heading into this week’s Southeastern Conference basketball tournament, the Rebels are still sitting on the bubble, but have plenty of work to do and will need some help to continue playing into mid-March.

Following Saturday’s win against Vanderbilt in the regular-season finale, Ole Miss finished 10-8 in SEC play and 15-10 overall. That result was good enough to land them the No. 6 seed in the SEC tournament and a second-round match-up with 11 seed South Carolina in Thursday’s second round.
