Whatever Andy Kennedy told his team at halftime of last night’s exhibition seemed to work. After leading Morehouse by only 6 points at the half, the Rebels quickly turned things around by starting the second half with a 31-7 run and coasting on for a 90-66 win.
Ole Misss started the game off hot, jumping out to an early 18-3 lead, but the tide quickly changed as excessive substitutions led to miscommunication and mounting turnovers. With 12 turnovers—double that of Morehouse—and an abysmal 35.4% field goal shooting going into halftime, the Rebels couldn’t seem to find a groove.
