Head Coach Chris Beard, Matthew Murrell, and Allen Flanigan Hype a New Era of Ole Miss Hoops

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – With the 2023-24 men's basketball season just around the corner, head coach Chris Beard and seniors Matthew Murrell and Allen Flanigan represented the Rebels at SEC Tipoff '24, speaking to the media and others in attendance.
 
The three rotated stations meeting with various news and media outlets to discuss the season, highlighted by a press conference and a live appearance on SEC Now.
 
Plenty of energy surrounds the program at Ole Miss, as the Beard era begins under the leadership of one of the most successful coaches of the last decade. Among active head coaches with 10 or more years of head coaching experience, Beard ranks 14th in career winning percentage at 70.7% (237-98). He has taken three different programs to the NCAA Tournament since 2016, and owns an 11-5 record at the postseason tournament, including a perfect 5-0 record in the opening round.
 
Murrell enters his fourth season with the Rebels, while Flanigan comes to Oxford after four years at Auburn. The two will be joined by 14 other student-athletes, with the full roster of 16 being comprised of five returners, seven transfers, and four high school recruits.
 
Ole Miss will host Tusculum for an exhibition in the SJB Pavilion on Monday, October 30 at 7 p.m., before beginning their regular season the following Monday, November 6 at 7 p.m. against Alabama State.
