UT-Martin was 0-4 against Ole Miss and only had one victory over an SEC school ever. In what should have been a tune up for tougher opponents ahead, the Rebs narrowly escaped a vastly inferior opponent, 72-68.
The Rebel basketball team is 4-0 headed into a tough holiday stretch against Stanford and a bevy of Power Five opponents.
It was a match in the mud from the tip as it took both teams almost 10 minutes to break the 15 point mark. With 13 minutes remaining in the first half, Ole Miss took its first lead of the contest 15-14 on a Jayveous McKinnis lay up.
