Ole Miss basketball limped into the SEC season coming off a loss to Samford, and then it immediately lost its first SEC game and seemingly senior leader in Jarkel Joiner to injury.
But then, the insertion of Daeshun Ruffin into the starting lineup was a shot in the arm of a weak offensive team. The creativity and quickness of the McDonald’s All-American allowed the team to get looks they were otherwise not able to create without him.
With Ruffin now out for the season, the team has fallen back on the returned Joiner to lead them, well, probably nowhere?
