Who didn't see that pesky No. 5 seed coming for Wisconsin? We sure did and with it comes one intriguing matchup with the SEC tournament champions and No. 12 seed Ole Miss Rebels. The Badgers and Rebels tangle in Kansas City on Friday at 11:40am CT and the game can be seen on truTV.
We'll be breaking it all down for you throughout the week here at MTB from all sorts of angles, but what better place to start than to give you a look at what this team looks like on paper? After all, how much attention have you really paid to a league as crappy as the SEC when there's been so much action here in Big Ten country, right?
So, let's introduce you to who the SEC tournament champion Ole Miss Rebels are, statistically speaking of course! (h/t to TeamRankings.com for this breakdown)
