Sharpshooting Rebs open season with win over Ragin’ Cajuns

The debut of Ole Miss men’s basketball Friday night was one of much intrigue; both sides looked hesitant before the Rebels ultimately pulled away for the 94-76 win.

It took awhile for the Rebels to rally; their first half performance left much to be desired. Turnovers were committed and not forced, the defense was reactionary, and the offense continually missed shots.

Terence Davis, one of the most improved players in the SEC between last season and the 2015 season, had a very rough start. He committed four turnovers, took empty trips to the line, and missed several consecutive shots before making catching fire later in the game.
