Andy Kennedy and the Ole Miss basketball team has navigated the out-of-conference schedule as perfect as one could expect.
The Rebels escape the OOC schedule with a 9-3 record and no bad losses on the resume. The three losses came against Middle Tennessee (25 RPI), Creighton (6), and Virginia Tech (63).
Ole Miss is currently ranked 31st in RPI according to ESPN. Ole Miss is in perfect position to make the tournament if the season was to end today.
But Ole Miss starts a tough conference schedule on Thursday with #8 Kentucky (7 RPI). Ole Miss has to start winning some of these top 50 RPI games.
