The Ole Miss basketball team’s disappointing season was ultimately summed up in one play.
Javonte Smart stood in for the inbound underneath the Ole Miss basket, and with Carlos Curry facing the rest of the Tigers on the court, Smart simply bounced the ball off of Curry’s back, gathered it and threw in an uncontested layup.
The Rebels have been a step behind their opposition all year and the snowball continued to roll downhill as the Rebels lost 73-63 to the LSU Tigers in Baton Rouge on Saturday.
Any momentum the Rebels gathered from competing against good teams in their last few outings is all but gone as they were totally outclassed from the tip off.
