Ole Miss surprised Texas with a 76-66 victory over the Longhorns in the Southeastern Conference Tournament, damaging their NCAA hopes. The loss could help push Texas to the First Four or out of the bracket completely. Ole Miss coach Chris Beard, who was fired by Texas in 2023 after a domestic violence arrest, never trailed in the first postseason game between the two teams. The Rebels, who have been losing 12 of their last 13 games, will next face seventh-seeded Georgia in the second round.
