In Game
The Rebels men’s and women’s basketball teams moved into state of the art The Pavilion at Ole Miss in 2016 and now play in one of the nicest arenas in the country. The Pavilion is home to countless amenities including luxury boxes, a lounge area, and top-notch concessions. The arena also features a variety of tributes to the program’s history all around arena meaning you’ll want to arrive early to take it all in before the game.

In addition to the typical stadium fare, you’ll also be able to grab a burger from Steak N’ Shake or some Raising Cane’s as well.

Dixie
I wish I was in the land of cotton,
old times there are not forgotten,
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land.
In Dixie Land where I was born in,
early on a frosty mornin’,
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land.Then I wish I was in Dixie, hooray! hooray!
In Dixie Land I’ll take my stand to live and die in Dixie,
Away, away, away down South in Dixie,
Away, away, away down South in Dixie. -
Forward Rebels
Forward Rebels, march to fame,
Hit that line and win this game,
We know that you’ll fight it through,
For your colors Red and Blue
Rah, Rah, Rah.Rebels you’re the Southland’s pride,
Take that ball and hit your stride,
Don’t stop ’till the victory’s won,
For your Ole Miss. Fight, fight for your Ole Miss. -
University of Mississippi Alma Mater
Way down south in Mississippi,
There’s a spot that ever calls,
Where amongst the hills enfolded,
Stand old Alma Mater’s Halls.Where the trees lift high their branches,
To the whispering Southern breeze,
There Ole Miss is calling, calling,
To our hearts fond memories. -
Hotty Toddy
Ole Miss’s famed “Hotty Toddy” chant takes place before tip-off, so make sure to be at your seat before they so you can take part. Don’t miss it as the chant is a great way to show off your Ole Miss pride.
Heighty! Tighty!
Gosh A Mighty!
Who in the hell are we?
Rim! Ram! Flim! Flam!
