After a strong start, Ole Miss failed to withstand a brutal second-half offensive onslaught from the Crimson Tide and lost 103-88. This game seemed to mimic the trajectory of the entire men’s season: The team’s talent and ability led the Rebels to a strong showing in the first half that was ultimately undone by a lack of cohesion and chemistry in the second half.
The loss even further damaged the Rebels’ chances of participating in March Madness, as it was their third straight SEC loss during the final stretch of the regular season. While things seem bleak for Ole Miss, the game was not without its highlights.
