The Lady Rebel basketball team (2-1) will look to rebound from their first loss of the season against Mississippi Valley State (1-2) tonight.
 
Ole Miss holds an 11-2 advantage over the Delta Devilettes in the all-time series with the Lady Rebels winning 10 of the last 11 meetings, including an 8-0 record against MVSU in Oxford.
 

 
Coastal Carolina gave Ole Miss a scare early with a 39-36 lead at halftime, but junior guard Marshall Henderson helped bring the Rebels (2-0) back, as they dominated the second half and won 90-72.
 
Henderson led the team in scoring with 27 points, his second straight 20-plus point game to begin his Ole Miss career. He buried six 3-pointers on 13 attempts and has been a source of enthusiasm for the team and the fans. 
 

 
Just before their season opener Friday, Ole Miss announced they self-imposed a one-year postseason ban on the women’s basketball program, but the Lady Rebels (1-0) put that behind them on their way to a 95-85 win over Southeastern Louisiana. 
 
Junior guard Diara Moore, a junior college transfer, led the charge for the Rebels in her debut. She scored 25 points and added seven rebounds in 32 minutes of play.  
 

 
Back in October at Ole Miss basketball Media Day, head coach Andy Kennedy said this year’s squad may be the most experienced team he’s coached in Oxford. The Rebels are led by three seniors in forward Murphy Holloway, forward Reginald Buckner and guard Nick Williams.
 

 
The Ole Miss men’s basketball team tips off the season tonight at 7 p.m. in an exhibition game against Montevallo in Tad Smith Coliseum. Ole Miss head coach Andy Kennedy enters his seventh season at Ole Miss and is excited about the players returning this season. 
 

 
Ole Miss basketball will have six new faces this season who will try to help the Rebels reach the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2002. 
 
“I think the six guys have integrated into what we’re trying to accomplish about as smoothly as possible,” head coach Andy Kennedy said on Tuesday.  
 

As both flu season and finals are fast approaching, Director of the Student Health Center Sandra Bentley encourages University of Mississippi students to seek vaccinations to guard against illness.

The house is surrounded by a brick wall. Two massive concrete lions sit on the wall in front of a 10-foot-high, barbed-wire-topped fence to guard the antebellum home-turned-Elvis-shrine like a junkyard prison. 

The side driveway, though barricaded by the fencing, is marked by a “no trespassing” sign slapped onto a shack-like ticket booth occupied by a wigged mannequin. Beyond the fence, the drive is cluttered with old, once-vibrant, now rundown cars. 

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Nick Williams scored a career-high 22 points and led Ole Miss a 68-54 win over Auburn in Thursday’s first round of the SEC Tournament at New Orleans Arena. 

Williams, whose previous career-high was 21, was 9-of-14 shooting and drained four 3-pointers. Murphy Holloway added 13 points and 13 rebounds for the Rebels (19-12), who have won four straight and might be able to make a case for an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament should they upset Tennessee in their second-round game Friday night. 

The 2012 SEC men’s basketball tournament will tip off Thursday at noon when No. 8 seed LSU takes on No. 9 seed Arkansas. Below are some storylines to keep an eye on during the four-day tournament in New Orleans:

Graceland Too – where to start?  

Tucked away at the end of a street named Gholson in a town called Holly Springs, there is a Pepto-pink house with two stone lions standing guard on the front porch. In this house, there is a living testament to perseverance and obsession. This man’s name is Paul Mcleod. 

It was going to be an uphill battle for the Ole Miss women’s basketball team (12-15, 2-12 SEC) as they welcomed the No. 10 Tennessee Lady Volunteers (20-7, 11-3 SEC) for Senior Day. The Lady Rebels fought hard and tried to send their three seniors out with a win in their last home game, but the Lady Vols prove too much in a 66-56 win Sunday afternoon.

“I have a very good basketball team,” head coach Renee Ladner said. “They’re extremely young. This entire SEC season has been a learning experience for them.”
