Ole Miss baseball has at least one game left in the 2024 season.
Of course the Rebels drew in-state rival Mississippi State.
Ole Miss, the 12-seed in Hoover this week, and the five-seed Bulldogs open SEC Tournament action Tuesday at 8 p.m. CT. The Rebels (27-28, 11-19 SEC) are playing for little more than pride after going winless in four must-win opportunities last week.
“Everyone knows what’s at stake (in the SEC Tournament),” Bianco said. “You gotta win.”
