The Rebels are No. 22 in the USA TODAY Coaches Poll, up from No. 23 last week.

Ole Miss beat Georgia 63-51 on Dec. 4 in their SEC opener. Coach Chris Beard shook up the starting lineup against the Bulldogs by putting guard Davon Barnes in.

The win was a nice turnaround for the Rebels, who were beaten handily at Memphis in the final game before SEC play. Ole Miss lost 87-70 at Memphis on Dec. 28 in a game that had Beard concerned about rebounding.

Ole Miss travels to play at Arkansas on Jan. 8 (6 p.m., ESPN2).
