There are games where one team “has it” and the other simply doesn’t; Saturday was one of those days that Ole Miss didn’t. Iowa State made 70% of their shots, got 28 points from their bench and held the Rebels to 33 percent from the field en route to a 87-73 victory in the first game of the Big 12/SEC challenge.
The Cyclones scored the first points of the game, finishing out a wire to wire victory over an Ole Miss team that has now lost three out of their last four contests—all by double digits.
“We got beat by an outstanding team,” head coach Kermit Davis said.
