Alabama will welcome Ole Miss to Coleman Coliseum Tuesday night for another top-25 clash with a conference that is full of them. Just three teams remain undefeated in conference play in the mighty Southeastern Conference and two of them play Tuesday night. Ole Miss head coach Chris Beard is not downplaying the significance of the matchup.

It was easy to overlook a hot start to Chris Beard's second season at Ole Miss for a couple of reasons. The Rebels also started with a bang in 2023-24, standing at 15-1 this time last year before going 5-11 and missing the NCAA Tournament.

The Rebels tie a season high of 14 steals and force the Crimson Tide to a season-low 28 second-half points, earning their first ever road win against a top-five team in program history, 74-64.
