NASSAU, Bahamas – No. 18 Ole Miss will have a chance to make splash in the Bahamas that will be felt not just in Oxford but across the entire nation.

The Rebels (4-1) beat Boston College (6-2) on Monday at the Continental Tire Baha Mar Championship, setting up a showdown with No. 2 UConn on Wednesday. Tip-off is set for 6:30 p.m. The Huskies earned their spot in the championship match with a 71-52 win against Oregon State on Monday.

The Eagles didn’t put up much resistance against Ole Miss on Monday.
