OXFORD — To reignite dwindling March Madness hopes, Ole Miss basketball will be out to score a signature win as it welcomes Alabama to the SJB Pavilion on Wednesday.

The Rebels (19-7, 6-8 SEC) have lost five of their last six games. They dropped a 72-59 decision to South Carolina on Saturday their last time out. That marked Ole Miss' second home loss of the season – one that pushed Chris Beard's team further to the wrong side of the NCAA Tournament bubble.

Alabama (19-7, 11-3) also finds itself needing a bounceback. The Crimson Tide allowed 117 points to Kentucky in a lopsided loss at Rupp Arena over the weekend. Coach Nate Oats has not lost to the Rebels since he took the job.
