Ole Miss will be very short-handed against Florida on the road today

Ole Miss has a longshot chance for a season sweep against the Florida Gators in basketball, but it has to be done with the absence of its two leading scorers.

The Rebels (12-10, 3-6 SEC) will play without Daeshun Ruffin and Jarkel Joiner who are both out with injuries. Ruffin injured his knee during the LSU mid-week game and is out for the season while Joiner could return by the end of this month.

Florida (14-8, 4-5 SEC) is on a two-game winning streak, and the Gators have been struggling without its star big man Colin Castleton and 6’11” center Jason Jitoboh.
