Ole Miss is coming off back-to-back SEC losses by a combined total of four points, knocking its conference record down to 4-2 in the process. Mizzou is also 4-2 in the league after picking up a home win over Arkansas last Saturday before dropping a road game at Texas earlier this week.

Sean Pedulla led the Rebels with 16 points, but standout scorers Matthew Murrell (1-for-9 shooting) and Jaemyn Brakefield (4-for-12) struggled, including the latter's missed jumper with four seconds left on the game's final shot.
