Truly this has to be the peak of some SEC basketball fever - two sub .500 SEC squads will face off when Ole Miss takes the court at Vanderbilt on Saturday at Memorial Gymnasium.
The Rebels (9-13, 1-8 SEC) and Commodores (10-12, 3-6 SEC) both feature coaches on the hot seat with Ole Miss’ Kermit Davis posting a 73-74 overall record in his fifth season and former NBA great and Vandy coach Jerry Stackhouse in his fourth season with a 49-66 overall record. Vanderbilt topped the Rebels in Oxford last season 63-61.
It is likely Ole Miss will continue to play its young roster with leading scorer Matthew Murrell battling a leg injury.
