Ole Miss entered the week needing a win at the Southeastern Conference Baseball Tournament to give itself a shot at hosting a Regional next weekend. Now, it needs a win to win the entire thing.

The Rebels defeated LSU, 2-0, on Saturday to advance to the SEC Tournament Championship game where they will take on Vanderbilt.

This is a rematch from the last time Ole Miss made it to the title game in 2019 when the Commodores rallied for an 11-10 win. In 2018 the Rebels won it all by beating LSU.

Earlier this season the Rebels (40-18) took two of three over Vanderbilt (41-16) when the two teams met in Oxford last month.

This week has seen No. 17 Ole Miss go through a murderers row to get to Sunday’s title game. Wins over No. 15 Florida, No. 5 Arkansas and No. 1 LSU have led to it now having the chance to get another Top 10 victory with the Commodores ranked No. 9, they are also No. 1 in the RPI.

“Well, we just want to continue to play well. I know it sounds like coach-speak, but it’s really not about who you’re playing,” Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco said on Saturday. “We feel we’re pretty good, as well, and when we play well, we can play with anybody in the country. One of the things that we’ve talked about for a long time now is can we play consistently well over a period of time. Baseball is a tough game to do that. But this team has done it now for a few weeks.”

Vanderbilt is a 1.5-run favorite according to Drat Kings.
