The Ole Miss Rebels dropped a tough game to the nationally-ranked Oklahoma Sooners last Thursday, but they made up for that in a big way on Monday night as they took down the No. 8 Kentucky Wildcats 66-57 at the SJB Pavilion in Oxford.

Despite the significant jump, the Rebels are still ranked four spots behind the Kentucky Wildcats. Ole Miss defeated Kentucky by 14 last Tuesday at the Pavilion and then won on the road against LSU on Saturday.
