On March 14th, the Ole Miss Rebels are on a stunning run in the SEC tournament, advancing to the semi-finals after knocking off second-seated Alabama, 80-79 on Friday. This marks their third straight win in Nashville, putting them one victory away from the championship game against third-seated Arkansas on Saturday afternoon. Earlier this week, the Rebels survived over time against Georgia 76-72 in the second round, holding the high-powered Bulldogs 2. Their lowest first half output of the season, with a 15 and 19 regular season record, Ole Miss has never trailed in any of their three tournament games so far, echoing their title runs. In 1981 and 2013, meanwhile, Arkansas enters with a strong 24 and 8 mark under coach John Calipari in his second year there. The Razerbacks lead the all-time series, 53-36, though Chris Beard's Rebels have won three of four recent meetings, including last, years tournament thriller.

Odds have Arkansas favored by eight and a half points, with a total of 157 and a half. Experts points of both teams' tendency to push to pace, as their last match of top 180 points, and Ole Miss excels at avoiding turnovers. A win keeps this improbable postseason alive for the Rebels, who as a double digit seed have already made history by stringing together three victories. Fans are buzzing as tip-off approaches on ESPN.
