The Ole Miss Rebels (21-10) and Auburn Tigers (27-4) are set to clash in SEC Tournament action on Friday at Bridgestone Arena.
Ole Miss has pieced together a strong campaign despite a few rough patches along the way. The Rebels stormed out to a 15-2 start, with their only early-season setbacks coming against Purdue and Memphis. However, they stumbled in a tough five-game stretch, dropping matchups to Mississippi State, Texas A&M, Missouri, and Auburn while managing just one win over Texas.
A rebound followed with victories over Kentucky, LSU, and South Carolina, but the Rebels then hit another skid, falling to Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, and Auburn. They've steadied the ship recently, winning three of their last four, including triumphs over Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Arkansas, with their lone loss coming against Florida. That run puts Ole Miss at 22-10 overall through 32 contests.
Auburn, meanwhile, has been a powerhouse all season, though they enter this matchup on the heels of back-to-back losses—their first consecutive defeats of the year. The Tigers opened strong, dropping just one of their first eight games (a loss to Duke) before rattling off an impressive streak of wins against teams like Richmond, Ohio State, Purdue, Texas, and Tennessee.
They kept rolling with victories over Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss, and Oklahoma but hit a roadblock in a defeat to Florida. Auburn responded by stringing together wins against Vanderbilt, Alabama, Arkansas, and Kentucky, but late-season losses to Texas A&M and Alabama leave them looking to get back on track. Their current record stands at 27-4 across 31 outings.
