What time does Missouri vs. Mississippi start?

Date: Saturday, March 2

Time: 7:30 p.m. CT

First-year Ole Miss coach Chris Beard has had some early success in Oxford. The Rebels spent time a combined four weeks in the AP Top 25 poll in December and January after running the table in their 13-game nonconference slate.

Conference play has been a tougher test. Mississippi is 6-9 against league opponents, including three straight losses ahead of its trip to Columbia.

Standout guard Matthew Murrell leads the Rebels with 16.9 points per game, which ranks No. 6 in the SEC. Jamarion Sharp, a 7-foot-5 center who was reportedly a target in the transfer portal for Missouri last year, is tied for the league lead in blocks per game, averaging 2.3.
