How high did Ole Miss rise in latest AP Top 25 Poll?
Ole Miss had a successful week with wins against ranked Kentucky and unranked LSU and that success was reward in Monday’s AP Top 25 Poll.
Ole Miss men’s basketball team had a good week last week and those good vibes continued on Monday.
The Rebels received the second-largest jump in the AP Top 25 Men’s College Basketball Poll, moving up from No. 25 to No. 19. They earned the jump after beating then-No. 14 Kentucky and then escaped back home a 72-70 win against LSU on Saturday.
