Ole Miss Men’s Basketball survives road scare versus Missouri

The Ole Miss Basketball team traveled to Columbia, Mo., on Saturday, March 2, to take on the University of Missouri for the second time this season in yet another too close for comfort victory for the Rebels.

Head Coach Chris Beard and his squad pulled out a 84-78 win over the Tigers, who are ranked last place in the SEC. The leading scorer was guard Matthew Murrell with an astonishing 21 points.

It was not a pretty win, however. The Rebels drove the action for most of the game, especially in the first half. Murrell was also the leading scorer of the first half with 11 points.
