Ole Miss basketball picked up an important home win vs OU to snap a losing streak. Here's how it impacted the Rebels in the polls

Ole Miss is enjoying arguably it's most successful season since the 2018-2019 campaign. Chris Beard is in the midst of elevating Rebels' basketball back to the standard it once held. And while there is plenty of basketball left to be played, the results are already visible.

Chris Beard knew the assignment when he was hired as Ole Miss head coach two years ago. He’s won nearly as many NCAA Tournament games in his career (8) as the Rebels have all-time appearances (9) in their 100-plus-year history.
