The Rebels (15-5, 4-3) are trying to reach the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2019 under second-year coach Chris Beard, who was fired from Texas two years ago after being arrested on a domestic violence charge.

Ole Miss beat Texas in SEC play this college basketball season. Sean Pedulla and Dre Davis were key players in the Rebels' win for coach Chris Beard.

As a team, Texas shot 40.6% from the floor, 22.7% from three-point range, and 85.7% from the free-throw line. Tre Johnson led the Longhorns in scoring with 22 points, followed by Arthur Kaluma with 12, and Kadin Shedrick with nine.
