After laying an egg against Alabama and Wichita State, Ole Miss got back on track on the hardwood on Wednesday night, winning its conference home-opener against Auburn 72-61 in its new powder blue uniforms.
Helped by what can only be described as a largely-poor performance by Auburn, Ole Miss (6-3, 1-1 SEC) saw a strong offensive performance from Luis Rodriguez and Romello White, who dropped 12 points apiece, as well as defensively where the Rebels gave the Tigers (6-5, 0-3 SEC) fits. A surprising offensive contribution was found in Khadim Sy who went 5-of-6 from the field and a perfect 3-of-3 from beyond the arc, dropping a total of 13.
