WKU Basketball: Hilltoppers to Play Ole Miss in Atlanta in December — Report

Western Kentucky will face off against former Middle Tennessee head coach Kermit Davis and the Ole Miss Rebels as part of a quadruple header on Saturday, December 11, at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, according to CBS Sports college basketball insider Jon Rothstein.

The meeting would be the third all-time between the two programs. Ole Miss took down the Tops in December of 2013, 79–74, while WKU took their revenge in Oxford in December of 2014, 81–74.

Ole Miss is the second SEC opponent WKU will face this season, along with South Carolina in the first game of a two-for-one series between the Gamecocks and Tops that’ll span until 2024 (no game next year).

The Toppers will also reportedly be involved in a four-team MTE this season that features Minnesota, giving the Tops plenty of P5 experience on the hardwood ahead of conference play beginning.
