‘Whoop that’: Ole Miss basketball tops Memphis, 80-77

For the first time in more than 15 years, Ole Miss basketball has started the season 7-0 with a come from behind win in Oxford against Memphis, 80-77.

The Rebels (7-0) fell behind at the half 37-30 with the Tigers (5-2) working a rebound advantage to create additional opportunities on offense. Ole Miss closed that rebounding gap in the second half and shot 50 percent from behind the arc to upset Memphis in a very full SJB Pavilion.

Chris Beard has made Ole Miss nationally relevant --- in only seven games.
