The Golden Eagles keep rolling on!
After a plodding start and a familiar lead surrendered as in the first half of the Illinois game, a solid second-half performance and a tenacious defensive effort turned it around. Shaka Smart’s crew found a way to win, topping the Ole Miss Rebels 78-72, giving the Golden Eagle faithful who traveled in droves to Charleston, South Carolina, a win in the opening round of the Shriners Children’s Charleston Classic.
