The No. 25 Ole Miss Rebels (16-6) will defend their home court in a key SEC showdown against the No. 14 Kentucky Wildcats (15-6) on Tuesday night, with tip-off set for 7:00 pm ET.
Kentucky enters the contest with a 15-6 record, but their 4-4 mark in conference play places them eighth in the SEC standings. The Wildcats got off to a hot start, going 12-2, with their only early losses coming against Clemson and Ohio State. However, conference play has been a rollercoaster.
After falling to Georgia, they rebounded with wins over Mississippi State and Texas A&M before dropping three of their last four—their lone victory in that stretch being an impressive win over Tennessee. In their most recent game against Arkansas, it was a tight battle in the first half, with the Razorbacks taking a slim one-point lead before the break. Arkansas never relinquished control after that, ultimately handing Kentucky an 89-79 defeat.
Meanwhile, Ole Miss sits at 16-6 overall and 5-4 in SEC action, good for sixth in the league standings. The Rebels started the season on fire, winning 15 of their first 17 games, with their only losses coming against Purdue and Memphis. That stretch also included a statement victory over Alabama.
However, things have taken a turn recently, as Ole Miss has dropped four of their last five matchups. In their latest outing against Auburn, the Rebels fell behind after eight minutes and never managed to reclaim the lead. They fought to keep the game close in the second half, but Auburn held firm for a 92-82 win.
