Another double-double from the Spaniard and 53 trips to the free throw line helped Ole Miss overcome a bad shooting night.
Ole Miss' 82-72 win over Georgia Southern felt a bit like its season opening win over Northwestern State. Once again, they struggled to distance themselves during the middle stretch before pulling away down the stretch. At the end of the day, Andy Kennedy's squad is 2-0.
Ole Miss dominated the game in the paint, but hot perimeter shooting kept Georgia Southern hanging around for longer than probably should have. They threw up 35 3-pointers, hitting 11 of them and outscoring the Rebs 33 to 6 from behind the arc.
