Ole Miss Moves Up

Upcoming Games
Ole Miss plays in Oxford against Arkansas State on February 22 at 4:00 PM.
Over the weekend (February 25–27), Ole Miss plays at home against VCU.
The Rebels need to remain focused on each game. Sometimes midweek games can sneak up on you. This first full week of baseball will test the Ole Miss Rebel’s focus.
