Ole Miss pulled off one of the best SEC wins of the season thus far. The No. 21 Rebels went to Tuscaloosa on Tuesday and embarrassed the No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide by a final score of 74-64. Ole Miss led for most of the second half and won the program’s first-ever road game against a Top 5 opponent (previously 0-34).

The No. 21 Ole Miss Rebels are on a hot streak in SEC play as they have opened league action with a 4-0 record, most recently upsetting the No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa for the program's first-ever road win over an AP Top 5 team.

It was easy to overlook a hot start to Chris Beard's second season at Ole Miss for a couple of reasons. The Rebels also started with a bang in 2023-24, standing at 15-1 this time last year before going 5-11 and missing the NCAA Tournament.
