Deandre Burnett rattled home a 3-point ball from the top of the key and ran back down to the defensive end grimacing in pain. The junior guard’s knees were far from 100 percent on Thursday night, but you couldn’t have gathered that from his 23-point performance in Ole Miss’ 86-74 win over Missouri in the second round of the SEC Tournament.
Burnett hit his first six shots of the game and helped the Rebels navigate their way out of a sluggish start in which the rest of the team opened the game missing 12 of their first 15 shots.
