After a disappointing loss to Western Kentucky last week, Ole Miss was desperate for a bounce back performance.
The Rebels showed resilience as they were able to defeat Middle Tennessee 62-52 off of a complete team effort. Multiple players contributed offensively and the team made some key defensive stops down the stretch to seal the victory.
Middle Tennessee isn’t too unfamiliar with Ole Miss head coach Kermit Davis. Davis coached MTSU from 2002-2018 and led them to the NCAA Tournament on three separate occasions: 2013, 2016 and 2017.
Through the first 10 minutes of the game, both teams were having a hard time getting the ball in the basket.
