A trip to Starkville against the struggling Mississippi State Bulldogs was not enough for Ole Miss to break its losing streak.
Both teams entered the game with three consecutive losses, but MSU (12-3, 1-2 SEC) was able to use an 8-0 run late in the second half to finish off the Rebels, 64-54.
Matthew Murrell had his best game in SEC play this season scoring 19 points, but the rest of the team struggled to find any offensive cohesion. Does this sound familiar? It should if you’ve been following this team.
Ole Miss (8-7, 0-3 SEC) was down 26-23 at halftime and battled to get a lead of its own in the second half at 38-31.
