“Everyone who has played Miami this season has said they are the best team in the country, so it will be a huge challenge to go to their regional,” said Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco. “But the thing about this tournament is you have to go somewhere and play someone good.
“They have a great stadium down there in Miami and they will draw well. They have a great atmosphere.”
OIe Miss is coming off a stellar run at the SEC Tournament where the Rebels were the first eight-seed to advance to the Championship Game. Ole Miss fell to No. 9 LSU 8-2 in Sunday’s game. It was the third time in the past four seasons the Rebels have advanced to the SEC Tournament Championship Game. Ole Miss won the 2006 SEC Tournament.
The Rebels defeated three top 25 teams on the way to the Championship game in No. 6 Georgia, No. 19 Kentucky and No. 21 Vanderbilt before falling to No. 9 LSU on Sunday.
Ole Miss faced 10 teams who advanced to this year’s NCAA Tournament including road trips to TCU a two game set with Southern Miss and a pair of home games against Western Kentucky. The Rebels also faced eight teams from the SEC who advanced to the NCAA Tournament, including national seeds Georgia and LSU. Ole Miss went 2-2 against both Georgia and LSU this season.
The Rebels and Missouri have faced off six times in the history of the program with the teams holding a 3-3 record all-time. The last time the two teams met was in 1987 with the Rebels taking a three-game series in Oxford two games to one.
