Ole Miss men looking to shake off slow SEC start

The beginning of conference play for the Ole Miss men’s basketball team has not gone the way they envisioned, but they are not letting their emotions take over.

The Rebels (6-5, 1-3 Southeastern Conference) had a five-point lead over Florida on the road in Gainesville on Tuesday, but then the Gators rattled off a 14-0 run to close out the game in the final four minutes to hand Ole Miss their fourth loss in the last five games.

Despite how the first four games of SEC play have gone, Ole Miss head coach Kermit Davis said his players have responded well in practice the last couple days.
