REBELS

(4-1, 0-0 SEC) Head Coach: Andy Kennedy Career: 237-140/12th At OM: 216-127/11th

TIP OFF • Ole Miss returns home to host Montana Thanksgiving Day as part of a three-game homestead. The Grizzlies also participated in the Paradise Jam, but did not face the Rebels. Ole Miss posted a 2-1 mark at the Paradise Jam in St. Thomas knocking off Oral Roberts, Saint Joseph’s before falling to No. 12 Creighton in the championship game. • Head coach Andy Kennedy ranks 20th on the SEC career coaching victories list with 216 wins. He is three wins shy of tying Rick Pitino for 19th on the list. • This marks the Rebels’ first-ever Thanksgiving Day game. • Last season, head coach Andy Kennedy moved past MSU’s Rick Stansbury for the fourth-most wins by a head coach in their first 10 years after taking over an SEC program. Kennedy trails only Joe B. Hall, of Kentucky, (227), Billy Donovan, of Florida, (226) and Wimp Sanderson, of Alabama, (216) in SEC history. • Junior G Deandre Burnett scored a career-high 41 points in the Rebels’ win over Oral Roberts. The 41-point outburst is the most in the nation this year and was a Paradise Jam tournament record. His nine 3-pointers in the game is the second most in school history, one shy of Marshall Henderson’s school record. Burnett leads the SEC and ranks 14th nationally at 23.6 ppg. He averaged 27.0 ppg in three games during the Paradise Jam en route to all-tournament team honors. • Senior F Sebastian Saiz recorded his 11th career double-double a career-high 26 points and a 12 boards in Ole Miss’ win over Saint Joseph’s. Saiz also posted a double-double in the Rebels’ win over UMass with 22 points and a career-best 19 rebounds. His 19 rebounds was the most by a Rebel since Murphy Holloway pulled down 20 in 2010 and is the most in the SEC this season. Saiz is averaging 12.8 rebounds a game over the last four games. • Senior F Sebastian Saiz is the second-leading returning rebounder in the SEC from last season and is the league’s active career leader with 653 rebounds. He also ranks second in the league among active players with 11 career double-doubles and leads the league this season pulling down 10.8 boards a game.
