The Ole Miss basketball team caged the Memphis Tigers 67-63 in front of a sold-out crowd at the SJB Pavilion on Saturday to notch their biggest win of the season. The Rebels are now on a four game win streak against ranked opponents dating back to the 2020 season. Standouts for the Rebels were senior guard Jarkel Joiner with 20 points shooting 6-for-13 from the field goal, and 7-for-8 from the free throw line. Memphis native Matthew Murrell came away with 19 points and went 7-for-9 from the free throw line.
“This game definitely meant a lot more to me just because I’m from the city of Memphis,” Murrell said.
