Athletics at the University of Mississippi – Ole Miss


In a historic matchup between Ole Miss and Mississippi State, the two teams will face off on January 18 in the latest chapter of their long-standing rivalry. This game marks the first time in the series’ history that both teams are ranked in the AP top 25, adding extra excitement to the already intense competition. With 270 games played since their first meeting in 1914, the Ole Miss-Mississippi State rivalry is the 12th most-played series in college basketball history.

The rivalry began in the 1913-14 academic year, with Mississippi State initially dominating the series. However, Ole Miss secured their first win in 1917 and went on to establish themselves as a strong contender, particularly during their time in the Southern Conference and later in the Southeastern Conference. Despite being founding members of the SEC, the two teams have only met twice in the conference tournament, with one win each.

In their most recent matchups during the 2023-24 season, each team defended their home court, showcasing the intense competition between the Rebels and Bulldogs. Notably, Ole Miss drew a record crowd of 10,630 at the SJB Pavilion for a game against Mississippi State. The upcoming game between the No. 21 Rebels and No. 15 Bulldogs promises to be another thrilling encounter, with tip-off set for 5 p.m. at Humphrey Coliseum, airing on ESPN2. Fans can expect a fierce battle as these two teams continue to add to their storied rivalry on the basketball court.
