Ole Miss basketball gets 67-56 win over Kansas State in SEC/Big 12 challenge

Ole Miss was surprisingly dominating against Kansas State on Saturday, winning the basement version of the SEC/Big 12 challenge 67-56 at the SJB Pavilion.

If Ole Miss can play Big 12 teams the rest of the way, it's possible they could get back in the NCAA Tournament conversation.

This serves as the program’s first win ever in the SEC/Big 12 challenge.

Daeshun Ruffin was a crucial force against the Wildcats dropping 17 points and bringing in seven rebounds, including 13 of his 17 points coming in the second half.
