Ole Miss Hoops Visits Jackson

OXFORD, Miss. The Ole Miss men’s basketball team will conduct a series of events for Rebel fans and alumni in Jackson, Miss., surrounding next Thursday’s game against the Winthrop Eagles at the Mississippi Coliseum.

The Rebels will play their first game in Jackson since 1989 when they take on Winthrop at 7 p.m. on Thursday. Tickets for the game are available by calling the Mississippi Coliseum Ticket Office at 601-353-0603, or by going through Ticketmaster. Prices are $15 (general) and $20 (floor level) for the Winthrop game and $16 for the Southern Miss game.

On Wednesday, Dec. 12, the Ole Miss players and staff will visit the Blair E. Batson Children’s Hospital and Children’s Cancer Clinic at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. Last year, the Rebels stopped by St. Jude Children’s Hospital in Memphis prior to their game against the Tigers.

Following the hospital visit, Ole Miss will hold a practice session open to the public from 3:45 to 5 p.m. at the Mississippi Coliseum. Rebel fans are encouraged to stick around after the workout to get autographs and visit with the team from 5-6 p.m.

Head coach Andy Kennedy will speak at the Rebel Club of Jackson meeting at the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame at 6 p.m. Wednesday evening. Admission to the event is free for Rebel Club members, students and children. There is a $20 admission fee for non-Rebel Club members, which includes food.
