After a home win over the Gamecocks, Ole Miss basketball found itself 1-0 in SEC play and looking to sneak a road win. Of course, Wednesday night all that came crashing to an end. The Georgia Bulldogs (10-3, 1-1) were too much for the Rebels (8-6, 1-1) to handle in Athens and fell 71-60. The Rebels fought hard until the end of the first half as the Georgia Bulldogs took a 39-31 lead into the locker-room.
After the half it was a struggle for Ole Miss to play with any real authority. However they did manage to stay within comeback range at times.
