Ole Miss men’s basketball dropped their first home game of the season yesterday to Texas A&M.
The Rebels had a packed house with 10,008 fans in attendance — marking the second largest crowd at the Sandy and John Black Pavilion. The game also cemented guard Matthew Murrell’s achievement as the Ole Miss all-time leader in games played in program history.
Ole Miss defeated then No. 4 Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Ala. holding the Crimson Tide to less than 70 points for the first game this season on Jan. 14. On Saturday, the Rebels, hobbled by a slow start and poor offense down the stretch, lost to Mississippi State 84-81 in Starkville in overtime.
