Rebels’ 2020-21 Schedule Features 17 Home Games
OXFORD, Miss. – A flip of the calendar means that we are one month closer to the return of basketball, and season tickets to watch the 2020-21 Ole Miss men's hoops team are on sale now. This season's schedule features 17 games in The Pavilion at Ole Miss with eight non-conference contests to go along with nine matchups against SEC foes.
"Creating an incredible atmosphere and home court advantage starts with the loyalty of our student section and our season ticket holders," head coach Kermit Davis said. "Last year, we set a record for season tickets sold. With the support of the Ole Miss fan base, I am hoping we break the record again this season."
Ole Miss opens the season with three straight home games, starting with a matchup against New Orleans (Nov. 10). The Rebels welcome North Carolina A&T to Oxford for a Sunday contest (Nov. 15) before closing out the homestand by hosting Charleston Southern (Nov. 18).
After participating in the Cayman Islands Classic (Nov. 23-25), Ole Miss returns home to host Rider (Dec. 1), the former team of graduate transfer Dimencio Vaughn, to tip off the month of December. On the first Saturday of the month (Dec. 5), a rivalry is renewed as the Rebels battle Memphis on Craddock Court. One week later (Dec. 12), UNCW makes the trip to Oxford.
Three days before Christmas (Dec. 22), Ole Miss hosts UT Martin for the final game of the 2020 calendar year. Following the holiday break, the Rebels ring in the new year and wrap up non-conference play by welcoming Wichita State to The Pavilion (Jan. 2). The matchup against the Shockers is part of a scheduling alliance with the SEC and the American Athletic Conference. Participating schools play a home-and-home series, which began last season when the Rebels traveled to Kansas.
Ole Miss will welcome nine SEC opponents to The Pavilion in 2021. Those matchups, along with the tipoff times for all 17 home games, will be announced at a later date.
The Rebels bring back a veteran squad combined with a talented group of newcomers. Four starters return from a season ago led by senior point guard Devontae Shuler. Averaging 11.7 ppg as a junior, Shuler also ranked fifth in the SEC in steals (1.7) and assist/turnover ratio (1.7). KJ Buffen becomes an upperclassman after leading the Rebels in rebounding (6.1 rpg) and blocks (28) last year to go along with 10.1 ppg. Fellow frontcourt member Khadim Sy (9.0 ppg, 5.5 rpg) is back for his senior season, adding more experience in the post. Also returning is Luis Rodriguez, who started the first five games last November before missing the remainder of the season due to injury.
Six newcomers, including four that already have experience at the Division I level, carry a plethora of accolades with them to Oxford. Jarkel Joiner and Shon Robinson have spent the past year with the program and the duo is ready to take the floor as Rebels. Joiner, an Oxford native who led the WAC in scoring (18.6 ppg) during the 2018-19 campaign, is eligible to play this season after sitting out the 2019-20 season following his transfer from Cal State Bakersfield. A top 100 recruit who reclassified to the 2020 class, Robinson redshirted his first year on campus and will use his 6-foot-11 frame to add size down low.
The additions of Vaughn and Romello White make Ole Miss the only school in the country to land two graduate transfers on ESPN's top 10 list. Vaughn earned First Team All-MAAC accolades twice during his career at Rider, while leading the Broncs in scoring last season (14.8 ppg). In three seasons at Arizona State, White averaged 9.8 ppg and 7.0 rpg while shooting 60.5 percent from the floor (second on the program's all-time list).
Matthew Murrell, the No. 38 recruit in the country is an incoming freshman after spending his high school senior season at IMG Academy. The guard is the highest ranked recruit in school history. Meanwhile, Robert Allen will have to sit out this season after transferring from Samford, where he averaged 12.0 ppg over the past two seasons.
