The Ole Miss Rebels crawled all the way back but still fell short in overtime in their first matchup of the year against Mississippi State.
Through the first half, Ole Miss' offense started very slow, not recording a bucket until after the 16-minute mark, and started the game just 1-of-8 from behind the arc, giving State an early advantage.
Throughout the first 15 minutes, it seemed to be all Mississippi State, controlling both sides of the ball and holding onto a consistent double-digit lead. Another factor in the Bulldogs' lead was their ability to draw fouls and convert from the line, going 7-of-11 from the line, while the Rebels only had one attempt from the charity stripe.
Ole Miss continued to turn up the heat on both sides of the floor, including senior Matthew Murrell drilling a three to cut the lead to one and moving into 10th all-time in scoring at Ole Miss.
