The Rebels beat Arkansas 77-51 on Wednesday after a loss to Auburn in the game prior. Ole Miss has gone 4-3 in its last seven.
Wade Taylor IV leads the Aggies in scoring this season averaging 19.5 points per contest and assists with 3.8 while Andersson Garcia is pulling in 8.8 rebounds per contest.
For the Rebels, it's Matthew Murrell leading the way with 16.9 points per game while Allen Flanigan averages 7.1 rebounds. Jaylen Murray leads all Rebels with 3.7 assists per game.
The Aggies have done a better job of late getting to the free throw line and coach Buzz Williams knows that's thanks to a a concerted effort by the team.
"I thought getting to the line was really important and we've tried to make it more concerted effort over the last couple of weeks with some of the deficiencies we've had. How can we hurry up and get to the bonus. Then I think entering today in SEC we were shooting 68 percent from the free throw line, we're doing better at getting to the line over the last week and a half.
"We need to continue to get to the line, maybe even a little bit more, at a little bit higher rate and then we have to finish that. I think last year we made 75 percent as a team, in SEC play going into tonight after a five-game sample prior to tonight, we were shooting 68 percent. We've got to get that north of 70 percent."
