Ole Miss advanced to the Round of 32 for the 11th time in school history on Friday
Ole Miss last pulled off back-to-back trips to the NCAA Tournament nearly 20 years ago.
Unlike last season, however, the Rebels on Friday made sure their stay was longer than one night.
Ole Miss, an eight-seed, routed No. 9 seed Gonzaga. The Rebels held the Zags to a tournament-record-low 48 points. The Rebels have now held opponents to 50 points or less in eight games. The 23-point victory (71-48) is tied for the largest ever by Ole Miss in an NCAA Tournament win.
Let’s take a look back at the win that was, in pictures provided by Getty.
