After a first half in which Auburn tore apart Ole Miss’ defense and the Rebels went through scoreless stretches of 7:08 and 3:27*, the only drama that appeared to remain when half number two started was whether or not Bruce Pearl’s shirt would be totally saturated with the sweat of a cookout-denying expert. However, instead of watching Auburn coast to a blowout win, Ole Miss decided to get woke as hell in the second half and stormed back from a 23-point deficit, earning a 90-84 win.
*Yes, friends, that’s over 10 minutes of non-scoring action in a single half of basketball from the home team.
