The Rebel defense carried a 64-46 win over the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Tuesday night as the 46 points by the Bulldogs stands as the fewest the Rebels have allowed in an SEC game since 2004 against Arkansas.
“We had a great two days preparation,” head coach Kermit Davis said in the press conference. “I thought the key was rebounding, great experience guard-play from Devonte (Shuler). K.J Buffen was terrific, good play off the bench. Really good team win and a really important win, maybe the most important game on our schedule against our archrival.”
The defense pushed Mississippi State to shoot 35%from the floor and forced 12 turnovers.
