The Ole Miss Rebels men’s basketball team returns to the court tonight as they host the Bradley Braves in the Pavilion. Tip off is set for 6 p.m.
Ole Miss (6-5) comes into this game after an 85-63 victory over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Tuesday night. The Rebels hit a total of 14 three-pointers in the game. Justas Furmanavicius had a career-high against TAMUCC with five three-pointers.
Junior Terence Davis has scored double digits in 24 of his last 26 games. Last season, against the Braves he scored 19 points in the game.
Bradley enters Friday’s matchup with a 10-2 record, winning three straight and eight of its last nine. The Braves are in the midst of a four-game road trip and have won their first two contests away from home, beating Chicago State (84-58) and Southeast Missouri (75-67).
Sophomore guard Darrell Brown leads Bradley in scoring with 12.9 ppg. Forwards Elijah Childs and Donte Thomas each average eight points and six rebounds per game. Bradley is one of the best defensive teams in the country, surrendering only 59.2 ppg and limiting the opposition to a 27.5 percent clip from beyond the arc. Brian Wardle is in his third season as Bradley’s head coach.
Ole Miss and Bradley will face off on the hardwood for the third straight season. The Braves lead the all-time series 3-2, but the Rebels have won the past two contests. Last season, Ole Miss blasted Bradley by the score of 66-49.
