Kentucky vs Ole Miss basketball: How to watch, stream, follow live updates from SEC game
Here is the information you need to know to watch, listen and follow along as Kentucky men's basketball travels to Oxford, Mississippi, to battle Ole Miss Tuesday night.
The Wildcats (14-7, 5-3 SEC) had their four-game win streak snapped Saturday in a 77-68 loss to Kansas at Rupp Arena. But UK still has won four straight outings in conference play, which it aims to build on Tuesday night.
Minutes prior to tipoff, Kentucky announced freshman guard Cason Wallace would not play due to a leg injury.
The Rebels, under fifth-year coach Kermit Davis, have had a rough go of it this season. They are 9-12 overall, and their 1-7 record in the SEC has them in a four-way tie (alongside Mississippi State, LSU and South Carolina) for last place in the 14-team league. Ole Miss lost its previous contest, a Big 12/SEC Challenge matchup against Oklahoma State 82-60 in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Ole Miss also lost its last league game, 89-77, to Missouri at home Jan. 24. Its lone conference victory came on the road against South Carolina on Jan. 17. That marks the Rebels' lone win in their last 10 games.
Perhaps even more worrisome for Ole Miss: Leading scorer Matthew Murrell has missed the last two games with a right knee injury. His status for Tuesday is up in the air.

What is the series history for Kentucky vs Ole Miss men's basketball?
As is the case with many opponents, the Wildcats own a decisive edge in their matchup with the Rebels, boasting a 109-14 lead in the all-time series. Dating back to UK coach John Calipari's first season in 2009-10, the Wildcats have won 13 of the 15 meetings. Both of the Rebels' victories in the Calipari era, however, have come at home. That includes the last time the pair played in Oxford, as Ole Miss won 70-62 on March 2, 2021.
From March 2011 through February 2020, Kentucky won 11 consecutive games against Ole Miss.
But that's not even close to UK's longest run of success in the series.
From 1929 through 1972, the Wildcats never lost to the Rebels — 39 wins in a row. Legendary Kentucky coach Adolph Rupp, who led the program from 1930 to 1972, went 37-0 against Ole Miss. The Wildcats also have had win streaks of 16 (1975 through 1981) and 11 (1982-86) against the Rebels in addition to their 11-game run under Calipari.
