Sad Wednesday is over, and we were “treated” to a pair of games which, if not exactly quality, were at least competitive.
No. 13 Ole Miss bullied the No. 12 South Carolina Gamecocks, dominating the glass for most of the game. A close contest was broken open by a spotty stretch of play where USC had six turnovers in seven minutes, and the poor-shooting Rebs knocked in 40% of their three-balls on the night. That would prove to be the difference.
Next up? Rematch vs. Tennessee. Tennessee won a previous game against the Rebels, but like everything away from Thompson Bolling, it was not easy for the Vols — 63-59 in Oxford, and UT had to make a serious late charge to get there.
