Chris Beard and the Ole Miss Rebels remain alive in the SEC Tournament after back-to-back wins over the Texas Longhorns and Georgia Bulldogs at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville (Tenn.).

In what has become "win or go home" territory for the Ole Miss program, Beard and Co. continue rising to the occasion with the Rebels now set to square off against the Alabama Crimson Tide in the quarterfinals round.

"This is really where you don't want to have any regrets. It would be nice to play your best basketball, but that's not always possible. What we want to do is mentally just make sure we don't have any regrets mentally to understand this is where we are, we're trying to extend our season," Beard said on Thursday.

"No different than when we play in the NCAA tournament. Really we're following that game plan this week. Our NCAA tournament just came a week early."

Ole Miss will square off against a fiery Alabama squad on Friday night, but which teams remain alive in SEC Tournament play? What does the bracket look like?
