What looked like a season-altering win slowly turned into crippling loss as the Ole Miss basketball team fell 83-82 in double overtime to the Auburn Tigers on Tuesday night.
The Rebels built a 19-point lead with a balanced scoring attack and good defense, but were unable to muster any offense after Breein Tyree fouled out with just over five minutes left to play.
Pearl’s team crawled back into the game with Tyree off the court and eventually fought back to force overtime. The Rebels didn’t score a field goal in the final five minutes of the game.
