Mississippi coach Chris Beard expects the Rebels to bounce back from the first losing season that he's been a part of in 15 years. Ole Miss went 15-20 least season, just one year after advancing all the way to the Sweet 16 of the 2025 NCAA Tournament. Beard asserts that a return to postseason tournament play is not out of reach for this revamped team, even if the Rebels are predicted to finish near the bottom of the 16-team SEC.

Guard Ilias Kamardine and forward Patton Pinkins return to starting roles. The remainder of the roster has been overhauled with transfers and freshmen.
