Rebels prove too much to handle for Crimson Tide, win 78-66

Ole Miss ended Alabama’s four-game winning streak Tuesday night at The Pavilion with a decisive 78-66 victory. Alabama point guard Collin Sexton, projected as a top 10 NBA draft pick, and his star backup, John Petty, failed to ignite their offense as Ole Miss picked up its fourth SEC victory and 11th win of the regular season.

The game marked the Rebels’ sixth home win this season, while three difficult matchups against Texas, Auburn and Tennessee remain on the horizon.
