Next up for the Bulldogs is a Tuesday matchup with Texas Southern ahead of a series at Arkansas that will begin on Thursday.

Ole Miss (25-12) won the first of their 3-game series with Kentucky on Friday, but things went downhill from there.

Ole Miss is still 9-6 in the SEC, which their best conference play record at the halfway point since 2014. 

With the series loss, Ole Miss dropped from #11 to #15.
