Lane Kiffin weighs in on Super Regional ticket punching performance of Ole Miss Baseball
The Ole Miss baseball team put up a historic performance to clinch their spot in the Super Regionals. With a 22-6 victory, the Rebels posted the most runs scored in an NCAA tournament game in Ole Miss baseball history. The show of offensive prowess led to head football coach Lane Kiffin giving the team props while boasting about his own squad’s ability to put points on the board.
“High scoring offenses in the Sip!” Kiffin tweeted on Monday night.
Needing one win to go a perfect 3-0 in the Coral Gables Regional, Ole Miss brought out the big stick and thumped Arizona emphatically in a 22-6 win.
The Rebels punched their ticket to the Super Regionals for a third straight season. Now, they’ll take on Southern Miss in Hattiesburg this weekend.
Lane Kiffin and his Rebels know a thing or two about blowing teams out of the water. In 2021, they averaged 33.7 points per game, while scoring 50+ in three games. They ranked No. 24 in scoring offense and No. 6 in overall offense.
Heading toward the 2022 season, Ole Miss has a win total of 7.5 games, per Vegas odds.
