Ole Miss basketball logged a top-25 victory to remain perfect at home as the Rebels beat No. 18 Memphis, 67-63.
Seven foot center Nysier Brooks nailed two extremely clutch free throws with ten seconds remaining to close out the victory for Ole Miss (6-2). The Rebels are now 5-0 at home for the season. Memphis (5-3) is now on a three game losing streak.
Ole Miss held a 30-26 lead at halftime, and the second half saw that lead swell to as many as 11 points. A furious last ditch effort from Memphis, of course, expectedly tightened the game, but the Tigers ultimately were undone by an inability to convert free throws, going 23 of 37 from the charity stripe.
