This Saturday afternoon game was a must-win game for the Rebels, but the team struggled the entire game in a 72-59 loss. Ole Miss is gasping for air now, as Joe Lunardi’s bracketology placed the team outside of the 68-team field. South Carolina completed the season sweep in Oxford, placing the Rebels even further outside of the big dance
First Half:
The Rebels started out very sluggish and went down early. The team’s defense looked pretty solid, something that has been a rare occurrence the past few games. It was a historic half in the sense that Jaemyn Brakefield reached the one thousand point club; despite Brakefield’s milestone, though, Ole Miss’ offense was very stagnant.
