Ole Miss had their trip to the dance cut short, falling to Oklahoma in the first round of the NCAA tournament by a score of 95-72 and ending their 2018-2019 campaign. It was all Oklahoma as the Sooners were able to enjoy a 20-point lead for the majority of the contest behind an impressive shooting performance.
Oklahoma coasts to a second-round matchup taking on the winner of the Virginia-Gardner-Webb game while the Rebels will head home with their heads held high. After being selected to finish last in the SEC preseason poll, the Rebels close out Kermit Davis’ first year as head coach with a 20-13 (10-8) record in the 2018- 2019 season.
