Ole Miss on roll heading into matchup with rival Mississippi State

Ole Miss will look to stay hot as it travels to rival Mississippi State for the first of two annual Southeastern Conference meetings on Saturday in Starkville, Miss.

Ole Miss (10-7, 2-2 SEC) dropped its first seven games against major-conference opponents prior to its current two-game winning streak. Head coach Chris Beard's team was in jeopardy of falling to 1-3 in conference play last time out before freshman Patton Pinkins' buzzer-beating putback layup propelled the Rebels to a 97-95 road victory in overtime over No.
