What we learned from Ole Miss basketball's exhibition win over Clayton State

TL;DR: The Rebs won by 16 despite shaky defense, Stefan Moody is perfectly healthy, there's a starting point guard competition and this new Polish dude can hoop.

It wasn't quite as smooth as it probably should have been, but Ole Miss basketball picked up an easy 103-87 win in its exhibition game against DII Clayton State on Thursday night, the final warmup before the games start counting next Friday. After heading into halftime with an 18 point lead, an "atrocious" (Andy Kennedy's words) Rebel defense allowed Clayton State to shoot over 60 percent from the floor in the second half and cut the lead to single digits multiple times.
