Ole Miss took the lead five minutes into the game and wouldn’t relinquish it for the next 30, playing cat-and-mouse with Tennessee until the Vols took back advantage with five minutes to go. Rocky Top wouldn’t look back from there and picked up a 75-66 win, but this game was much closer than that score would indicate. Terence Davis and Sebastian Saiz led all Rebel scorers with 14 and 13, respectively
After Davis opened Ole Miss’ scoring with a three from the right wing, the Rebs went cold all the way into the under-16 timeout, shooting just 1-10 from the floor.
