Ole Miss basketball notched a huge upset on Tuesday with a 76-72 knee-knocker over No. 25 LSU to post its first true road win of the season.
The Rebels (12-10, 3-6 SEC) were led by freshman phenom Daeshun Ruffin who scored 19 points before an awkward landing and what looked like possibly a hyperextended knee sidelined him in the second half. Obviously, if Ruffin is out long-term, the Rebels are pretty much without a point guard until he or Jarkel Joiner can return.
Head coach Kermit Davis said in postgame interviews that Ruffin wanted to go back into the game, but he was held out as a precaution pending an MRI.
