Ole Miss is back home on Wednesday night to take on Texas in a matchup that feels like a "must-win" for the Rebels.

After beating ranked teams Missouri and Texas A&M, can Texas basketball get another big SEC win over No. 23 Ole Miss and former coach Chris Beard?

The Rebels moved down in this week's national polls. Ole Miss (15-5, 4-3 SEC) and coach Chris Beard fell seven spots to No. 23 in the USA TODAY Coaches Poll. The Rebels are also No. 23 in the AP poll. Ole Miss was No. 16 in both polls before the back-to-back losses.

Ole Miss' losses include a heartbreaking loss at home to Texas A&M after only trailing for the final 14 seconds and a road loss at Mizzou where it only led in the opening minutes of the game as it started with an 8-0 run but quickly relinquished the lead to the explosive Tigers offense.
