Chris Beard and the Ole Miss Rebels' historic SEC Tournament run continues after taking down the Alabama Crimson Tide on Friday night to remain alive in Nashville.

In what has become a "Cinderella run" for the Rebels, Beard and Co. are cruising in postseason play with Ole Miss now one game away from the SEC Tournament Championship Game.

"I know many of you haven't followed our season other than the win/loss record. I know that's not easy to look at. But we played some good basketball. We can play with anybody in this league," Beard said on Friday.

"We played Alabama in Oxford, Mississippi several weeks ago. Basically tied game at halftime. One-possession game about 10 minutes left. They hit us with a haymaker. The final score wasn't reflective of what the game really was."

Now, with the SEC Tournament winding down, the bracket has updated with the Ole Miss Rebels headlining a historic week in Nashville.
