Ole Miss took on the challenge of the South Alabama Jaguars in Oxford on Thursday night and came away with the victory.
The Rebels are now 9-3 heading into conference play, where they open with the Kentucky Wildcats.
Led by Sebastian Saiz’ 23 points and 16 rebounds, the Rebels took the lead early on and continued to attack all night long.
This was the most complete performance for Ole Miss this season, in a game where they really needed it. This was a game that you could not lose if you want to make the NCAA tournament.
