Deandre Burnett grabbed his ankle and laid near mid-court in pain as a trainer rushed over to assist him. He hobbled off of the floor and into the locker room putting little-to-no weight on his left leg. The junior guard’s sprained ankle highlighted a frustrating first half in which Ole Miss made just five field goals, and 14 total in the game in its 69-47 blowout loss to Georgia on Wednesday night.
