Kermit Davis’ Rebel hoops outfit didn’t let a midweek loss to LSU drag them down to regression levels, as Ole Miss throttled Arkansas in The Pavilion, 84-67. The win leaves the Rebels 3-0 following losses on the year, and 4-1 in conference play before Ole Miss travels to Alabama then hosts Iowa State next week.
Ole Miss jumped out to an early 9-2 lead at the first media timeout on the strength of robust interior play and a timely Breein Tyree steal for a Terence Davis finish at the rim. The Rebs’ defense masked over the offense’s struggles, with none other than Tyree picking up a violent block on a Razorback breakaway dunk attempt.
