LIVE UPDATES: Ole Miss Rebels vs. Vanderbilt Commodores

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Ole Miss Rebels will take on the Vanderbilt Commodores on the road, Saturday at noon in a battle of struggling SEC basketball teams.

The 10-12 Commodores are favored to beat the 9-13 Rebels by four points in Memorial Gymnasium, but Ole Miss may have an ace up its sleeve that could help snap its four-game losing streak.

Ole Miss junior guard Matthew Murrell will be available for Saturday's matchup after missing the last three games due to a knee injury, according to coach Kermit Davis.

Getting Murrell back in the lineup is huge for the Rebels, as he leads the team in scoring with 14.9 PPG. Vanderbilt is led in scoring by senior forward Liam Robinson with 13.0 PPG. 

Both teams really could use a conference victory as the Rebels are currently 1-8 in SEC play, while the Commodores are 3-6.
