It was odd to see Ole Miss beat an inferior opponent by a safe margin, but here we are. Andy Kennedy’s squad hopes to extend their recent offensive tear late into the SEC tournament, as the three-seed Razorbacks await the Rebels, likely feeling confident after the shellacking they dealt a few weeks ago.
As expected, Ole Miss relied fairly heavily on getting to the line to get points against Missouri, but they complemented it with a 43 percent outing from three to maintain a healthy lead. Deandre Burnett was able to play through his health issues to put up 23 points on just nine shots.
