Ole Miss and Missouri played around 20 minutes of un-televised basketball before ESPN2 switched over from West Virginia and Baylor on Tuesday, but the broadcast finally picked with Ole Miss leading Missouri, 11-9, in the midst of the first half’s under 16 break. Ole Miss managed to force overtime with seven seconds left in the game, and the Rebs managed to prevailed, 90-87, in Columbia.
Interim head coach Tony Madlock brought the boys ready to play on Tuesday night, as the Basketsharks dropped down six three pointers in the game’s first 10 minutes. Ole Miss shoots a lot of threes, but they don’t make a lot of them, and the Rebs’ range in the early going held them out to a 13-point lead in the waning minutes of the first half.
