TIP OFF • Ole Miss travels to Blacksburg Sunday to face ACC foe Virginia Tech. The Rebels are 21-27 all time against the current members of the ACC and 2-1 all time versus the Hokies. • The Rebels rank third in the SEC in scoring at 82.8 ppg and have scored 80-plus points in six the their first eight games for the first time since 20007-08. • Head coach Andy Kennedy ranks 20th on the SEC career coaching victories list with 218 wins. He is one win shy of tying Rick Pitino for 19th on the list. Kennedy is also the first coach in Ole Miss history to beat Memphis three- straight times since R.L. Sullivan in 1923-25 • 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.

He scored a career-high 41 points in the Rebels’ win over Oral Roberts in the Virgin Islands, which is the third 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. Ole Miss has had an SEC scoring champion in three of the last four seasons. • Senior F Sebastian Saiz recorded his 13th career double-double with 20 points and 16 boards in Ole Miss’ win over Memphis. Saiz leads the SEC and ranks 10th nationally pulling down 11.5 rebounds a game and has four double-doubles this season, which leads the league and ranks 21st in the nation. He is averaging 15.4 ppg and 12.7 rpg over the last seven games and is the only player in the SEC this season averaging a double-double.
