Ole Miss hangs on to beat Georgia, 72-71

Per the University of Mississippi charter, nothing can ever be easy for Ole Miss, which is why we were treated to a Saturday afternoon of very healthy stress on the way to a 72-71 win over Georgia.

Up one with just over five seconds to play, the Rebels dodged a last-second three-point attempt that everyone in The Pavilion and watching on television was 2,000 percent sure would find the bottom of the net after smashing off the backboard.

Fortunately for Ole Miss, #WAOM was either on a smoke break or traveled with the baseball team to New Orleans, and the Rebels were able to avoid the dreaded THAT’S A BAD LOSS, BOB.
