I don’t remember if it was after the first January loss to Georgia or the one that followed two weeks later, but the 2020-21 Ole Miss basketball season’s time of death occurred during the first month of the new year. After Georgia Loss No. 1, Ole Miss fell to 6-6 overall (1-4 SEC) and then to 8-8 (3-6) with Georgia Loss No. 2, while looking like a team going nowhere.
Then February started. Turns out, they were not quite dead and actually feeling better!
Wednesday night’s win over Missouri marked their third straight win, and second win in three games over a top 15 team at home.
