Ole Miss basketball gave poll voters an exciting game to consider last week. The Rebels are No. 23 in the USA TODAY Coaches Poll released Monday. Ole Miss is No. 19 in the AP poll.

"This is the SEC," Ole Miss coach Chris Beard said. "A two-game winning streak, it's free breakfast burritos in the morning. People want to throw you a parade. A two-game losing streak and you feel like the sun won't come up tomorrow."

Ole Miss basketball looked like it was going to beat Texas A&M, until the Rebels stopped executing and the Aggies took advantage.

What Ole Miss basketball coach Chris Beard saw in the practice facility a few days ago backed his belief in Davon Barnes' ability to seal the game.

This gave Ole Miss a much-needed win entering a tough stretch of its schedule, one that begins this weekend at home against the No. 1 Auburn Tigers. Head coach Chris Beard understands this league and how much depth it possess as the Rebels were able to get the victory after a three-game skid.

Ole Miss basketball and coach Chris Beard won a historic game at Alabama on Tuesday. "Maybe it's time to talk a little bit about Ole Miss," Beard said.
