Take lots with alcohol.
There's little more frustrating yet distinctly fitting about Ole Miss basketball than late-season horror shows in winnable games. Which is exactly what transpired Saturday in Athens as the Rebel hoopmen dropped a whistle-filled slopper of a loss to Georgia, 80-66. Anthony Perez -- yes, him -- led all Rebel scorers with 19 points on 5-of-10 shooting with three bombs from out in the county.
Riding a downright awful opening 10 minutes by Ole Miss, Georgia sprinted out to an early 27-16 lead. The Rebels committed five turnovers on their first 10 possessions and their 2-3 zone found it impossible to nab a defensive rebound.
