What to Know

The Ole Miss Rebels' homestand continues as they prepare to take on the Dayton Flyers at 6:30 p.m. ET Dec. 18 at The Pavilion at Ole Miss. The Rebels are out to keep their six-game home win streak alive.

Ole Miss bagged a 62-52 victory over the Middle Tenn. Blue Raiders on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Dayton didn't have too much breathing room in their game with the Virginia Tech Hokies on Sunday, but they still walked away with a 62-57 win. Guard R.J. Blakney was the offensive standout of the matchup for Dayton, shooting 5-for-5 from beyond the arc and finishing with 19 points and six rebounds. Blakney hadn't helped his team much against the SMU Mustangs last Wednesday, so this was a nice turnaround for him.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Ole Miss is expected to win a tight contest Saturday. But bettors beware: they are only 3-6 against the spread when favored.

Their wins bumped Ole Miss to 7-3 and the Flyers to 7-4. Watch the contest and check back on CBS Sports to find out who keeps up the positive energy and who hits a stumbling block.
