Losers in seven of their last eight games, the Ole Miss men’s basketball team came away with their second conference win on Wednesday at home against South Carolina.
“It was a good feeling just to win an SEC home game, we needed that desperately,” head coach Kermit Davis said after the win. “I think our team has some good basketball ahead of it.”
The Rebs came out of the gates scorching hot from the field, shooting nearly 52% from the field and 50% from three-point range in the first half. Their defense was also superb, holding the Gamecocks to under 35% on field goals in the opening period.
