After watching the Women go on the road and upset their second ranked team on the season on Sunday, perhaps the Men were... inspired? After a 22-22 barn burner of a first half, Ole Miss went scorched earth on their was to a 70-54 to snap a four game losing streak.
Remember when everyone was upset that the Rebels kept Andy Kennedy, while letting Mike White slip away to Florida? Well who’s laughing now?! (no one. absolutely no one is laughing because neither program is succeeding at the moment.)
The win was needed because the road ahead is brutal for the Rebels, so lets take a look at the 1-3-1 behind the victory:
1 Player of the Game
Daeshun Ruffin 21 points (career high) 6 assists and 4 steals

This could have gone to Murrell who dropped 20 on 67% shooting and defended well all night, but Ruffin was electric in this one.
