Ole Miss Rebels (20-10, 11-6) projected as a No. 9 seed – Lock
RPI: 45 SOS: 39
RPI TOP 25: 1-2
RPI TOP 50: 4-5
RPI TOP 100: 9-7
Quality Wins: Cincinnati, at Oregon, at Arkansas, Texas A&M
Bad Losses: Charleston Southern, TCU, Western Kentucky
The Ole Miss Rebels have struggled here of late, going 1-2 in their last three games, but the 82-74 win over Alabama on its Senior Night kept Ole Miss safe for now. Getting earlier wins over Cincinnati, Oregon, and Arkansas helped the Rebels build their resume from scratch and those wins surely have helped with the way they have struggled in the past two weeks.
If Ole Miss finishes its season with a win over Vanderbilt at home Saturday night, then the NCAA Committee should consider making a place for the Rebels in the field of 68.
