Chris Beard and the Ole Miss Rebels will hit the road to Nashville (Tenn.) this week for a matchup against the Texas Longhorns in the SEC Tournament opener.

In what has been a disappointing season for the Rebels, Beard and Co. will look to utilize postseason play as an opportunity to compete until the end with a focus also on the 2026-27 season.

"The whole season’s been tough. We’ve obviously got to put a better product on the floor. I really want to thank the season-ticket holders and the students who supported the team this year," Beard said last week.

"We’re going to do everything we possibly can in the next 12 months to put a better product on the floor next year. Our guys will keep fighting. Today was basically an even basketball game with the exception of the 3-point shot. It just wasn’t our friend today."
