There are no moral victories in SEC basketball.
That’s especially true for a basketball team that built a 19-point lead over a nationally ranked squad in its own building and failed to come out with the victory after two overtimes.
The Ole Miss basketball team missed another golden opportunity with the then-No. 17 Auburn Tigers on the ropes in the second half, failing to deliver the knockout punch as the Tigers crawled back into the game. Tuesday night’s loss marks the fourth time the Rebels have lost an SEC game after leading by double digits.
The Rebels looked like they finally found their footing when they went into Athens and stole a game from Georgia in their best all-around performance of the season.
