Key takeways from the Rebels’ 87-82 victory over Mississippi State

In dramatic fashion, the Ole Miss Rebels (17-11) overcame a late Mississippi State (14-13) comeback effort to post an 87-82 victory in Starkville. Led by strong performances from freshman Breein Tyree and senior leader Sebastian Saiz, the Rebels led for much of the game but a last-minute score from State’s I.J. Ready tied the game at 67 and sent the teams into overtime. From that point on, it was all Ole Miss. Here are three key takeaways from Tuesday’s win:
