Ole Miss Hoops to Appear Twice on SEC Network
OXFORD, Miss. – Tipoff times have been set for the 2020 Justin Reed Ole Miss Classic (Nov. 25-27), the season-opening tournament hosted by the Ole Miss men's basketball team. Two of the Rebels' three games will be televised nationally on SEC Network, while the other contest will be streamed digitally on SEC Network+.
Ole Miss will begin its season and the tournament against Central Arkansas (Nov. 25), the first of three games in The Pavilion that day. Tipoff is slated for 1 p.m. CT on SEC Network+. A matchup between Arkansas State and Jackson State will follow (4 p.m. CT), while the Ole Miss women's team will conclude the tripleheader by hosting Northwestern State (7 p.m. CT) on SEC Network+.
SEC Network will televise the Rebels' Thanksgiving Day in-state battle against Jackson State with tipoff set for 1 p.m. CT. The other in-state contest, Arkansas State versus Central Arkansas, will start at 4 p.m. CT on the holiday.
Wrapping up the tournament on Friday, November 27, Central Arkansas and Jackson State will play the first game of the day (4 p.m. CT). The Rebels and Red Wolves will follow with primetime matchup (7 p.m. CT) featured on SEC Network.
The tournament is named in honor of Reed, a fan favorite and four-year starter during his time at Ole Miss (2001-04). Reed etched his name in the school record books before getting drafted in the 2004 NBA Draft by the Boston Celtics. Along with becoming the first Rebel to be named All-SEC in four different seasons, he ranks seventh all-time in scoring (1,785 points) and ninth in rebounds (766). Reed passed away at the age of 35 on October 20, 2017 following a battle with angiosarcoma.
