OXFORD — Ole Miss basketball will be out to score an important win for its NCAA Tournament hopes when it welcomes South Carolina to the SJB Pavilion on Saturday.

The Rebels (19-7, 6-7 SEC) lost the first meeting between these two teams in Columbia, 68-65. Ole Miss has been difficult to beat at home, where it has lost just once all season. The Rebels will be banking on that home-court advantage as they look to snap out of a skid that has seen them drop four of their last five games.

South Carolina (21-5, 9-4) has not been playing quality basketball lately, either. The Gamecocks lost by 40 at Auburn before falling at home to a bad LSU team last time out.
