The Kermit Davis era got off to a strong start this past weekend as the Ole Miss Rebels moved to 5-2 after taking care of business, downing the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks 83-60.
In front of a crowd of more than 6,000 Rebel fans in The Pavilion, Ole Miss looked to have been shot out of a cannon early, the Rebels jumped out to a quick 14-5 lead just four minutes into the game. Breein Tyree had a quick seven points in those first four minutes of the half on what was a big day for the junior guard. Tyree recorded 20 points on 8-of-15 from the floor while connecting on 4-of-9 from deep.
