Ole Miss basketball, at long last, has finally matched the program’s all-time greatest accomplishment. The Rebels on Sunday whipped Iowa State, 91-78, to punch their second-ever ticket to the Sweet 16.

Many expected Michigan State men’s basketball team to reach the Sweet 16 as the No. 2 seed in the South Region. Its upcoming opponent pulled off an upset to remain in the dance. No. 6 seed Ole Miss hammered No.

While the Spartans and Rebels do not have an extensive history against one another, Tom Izzo and Ole Miss head coach Chris Beard have had battles over the years. Fans will not have to wait long on Friday for the Spartans and Rebels to clash,
