The Ole Miss men’s basketball team defeated Grambling State 66-64 on Friday, advancing to 2-0 on the season.
Both teams were coming off big wins earlier in the week. Grambling scored 93 points in their Monday outing against Southern University of New Orleans.
Moreover, the Tigers have high hopes this season: they won the Southwestern Athletic Conference last season (SWAC) and brought back three of their starting guards, all former JUCO standouts who proved they can hang in Division I last season.
It was all Grambling in the first five minutes. The Tigers came out shooting, burying their first five field goals.
