The Ole Miss men’s basketball team’s slide in the Southeastern Conference continues.
Lacking offense for most of the game, the Rebels fell to Georgia, 78-74, at The Pavilion on Saturday. The loss was the third straight in conference play and fifth in the last six games for Ole Miss.
An inability to hit three-point shots and struggles at the free throw line plagued Ole Miss (6-6, 1-4 SEC) in the first half. A basket by freshman guard Matthew Murrell at the 9:50 mark in the opening half was the only three-pointer for the Rebels, who shot just under eight percent (1-for-13) from beyond the arc in the first 20 minutes.
