Fresh off of their 42-point victory over Florida A&M to open the season, the Rebels continued their early season domination as they beat the Prairie View A&M Panthers 98-63 on Wednesday and the Eastern Washington Eagles 91-76 Friday night.

The Rebels got to the rim with ease against the Panthers, scoring 60 points in the paint compared to the Panthers’ 24. Many of these points came off of highlight reel dunks and crafty layups in transition coming off of turnovers.

Anthony Smith’s athleticism and hustle was on full display as he scored 17 points, a majority of them coming by way of jaw-dropping, rim-rattling dunks.
