After being away from the court for 21 days, the Ole Miss men’s basketball finally got their 2020-21 campaign underway on Thursday.
The Rebels handled Jackson State with ease, defeating the Tigers 80-45 inside The Pavilion. After resuming their season on Dec. 12 against UNC Wilmington, Ole Miss head coach Kermit Davis added JSU last week.
Ole Miss was the final Power 5 team to play their first game of the season after Tennessee played on Tuesday night.
There may have been a little rust to knock off as the Rebels were slow out of the game, trailing 6-4 in the first three-plus minutes of the game.
