The SEC Tournament Schedule: Ole Miss Rebels Open Play With Texas Longhorns Matchup

In this story:
Chris Beard and the Ole Miss Rebels will open SEC Tournament play on Wednesday evening with a matchup against the Texas Longhorns at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville (Tenn.).
Ole Miss enters postseason play as the No. 15 seed in this year's SEC Tournament following a disappointing 2025-26 campaign following last season's historic Sweet 16 run.
"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."
Now, the stage is set for Wednesday evening with the Ole Miss Rebels set to open SEC Tournament play with a clash against No. 10 seeded Texas up first on the docket.
