NASHVILLE \u2014 Texas basketball<\/a> opens the SEC Tournament<\/a> with a first-round\u00a0matchup Wednesday against\u00a0Ole Miss<\/a> at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn. and the 10th- seeded Longhorns (18-13, 9-9 SEC) likely need a win to secure a trip in the NCAA Tournament<\/a> that doesn\u2019t include a detour to Dayton, Ohio, for the First Four.<\/p>\n

But 15th-seeded Ole Miss (12-19, 4-14) needs to win out at the SEC Tournament if it want to reach the NCAA Tournament and salvage a miserable season under former Texas coach Chris Beard<\/a>. The Rebels lost to Texas 79-68<\/a> a month ago in Austin when the Longhorns closed the game on a 14-0 run and got a huge game from post Matas Vokietaitis, who had 27 points on 9 of 11 shooting and grabbed seven rebounds.<\/p>\n

Follow below for live scores and updates Saturday as the Texas Longhorns face the Ole Miss Rebels in a first-round SEC Tournament game. The winner will play Georgia Thursday in a second-round contest.<\/p>\n
