As far as a “must-win game” goes with over a third of the regular season left to play, today’s game against Ole Miss would’ve certainly qualified. Tied with a 1-5 SEC record, Ole Miss and Arkansas were fighting to stay out of the proverbial SEC cellar, and even with the type of talent Arkansas has, they cannot afford to be at the bottom this far into the season.
Both teams came out with a lot of energy, hoping to get another win under their belt. At the 14:29 mark, Ole Miss went on a quick 8-0 run in just 54 seconds, growing their lead to 5.
