One of the two losses without Castleton came one the road against Ole Miss. The Rebels took the contest 70-54 despite 12 points from replacement center Jason Jitoboh.

According to the teams’ Twitter account, Wednesday, Feb. 2, the game against the Gators will have a start time bumped up to 2:00 PM CT. The game was originally scheduled to be played at 8:00 PM CT.

The game will be played from the Tigers’ home arena in Columbia, MO, and will still be broadcasted on the SEC Network.
