The Rebels got their third win in three games on Tuesday night with a victory over the UT-Chattanooga Mocs 70-58. The Rebels were led by junior guard Matthew Murrell who contributed 25 points including six threes with 16 of his points coming in the second half.
Although the Rebels were a favorite going into the game, the Mocs were a tournament team a year ago, despite not getting out of the first round. In their 12-point win, Ole Miss head coach Kermit Davis and company had a lot to be happy about going forward.
With sophomore point guard Daeshun Ruffin still recovering from injury, the scoring load has been shifted solely onto Murrell and so far, he’s produced.
