In a nail-biter of a match Saturday evening, the Ole Miss Rebels took home their first conference win of the season against Louisiana State University, 55 to 49. At the conclusion of the thrilling match, fans rushed the field to celebrate the Rebels’ 42nd win over LSU in the Magnolia Bowl series.
A loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide last Saturday left the Rebels feeling discouraged as they exited Tuscaloosa. The following week was filled with roster changes that ignited questions about the team’s future. As the Ole Miss Rebels prepared to take on the LSU Tigers, the largest crowd to ever fill Vaught-Hemingway Stadium filed in, praying for a much-needed conference win.
