Some Saturday night heroics in Bayou have no 19 Ole Miss riding on a winning line with two games, but the rebels realize that no opponent can be easily taken at the southeastern conference.
Coach Chris Beard’s Squad will play his second straight fight the enemy when it meets South Carolina in last place on Wednesday evening in Columbia, SC
Ole Miss (18-6, 7-4 SEK) broke a worrying the latest trend while he beat LSU on Saturday: the rebels won in a close game.
In SEC competitions that were decided with three points or fewer, Beard’s gang went into the battle in the Baton Rouge 1-2 and rebels did almost everything they could to make sure a third loss came.
They shot 37.7 percent in total and made only 6 out of 23 3-point attempts (26.1 percent). Ole Miss fell only 20 out of 29 free throw (69 percent) and was exaggerated by one.
Even towards 15th place among SEC’s 16, Ole Miss worked with a recipe for a bad defeat against a bad team.
However, the rebels gathered with a game-ending 13-0 driving and received a Summer-Beating tip-in from Dre Davis for a victory 72-70, its third triumph in four excursions.
“Could not get a stop for most of the game,” Beard said. “We had to take care of the ball and type of points with them for a while. We only had a turnover during the second half and only five for the game.”
Utilizing the possessions has been a key to the success of the rebels.
In his 98-84 victory over then no. 14 Kentucky On February 4, the rebels produced 24 assists while only committed a turnover, a result most of the point guard Sean Pedulla’s game.
Virginia Tech transfer had 17 points against LSU and leads with averages of 15 points and 2.1 steal per match. He is second with 3.8 assists per competition and trailer only Jaylen Murray 3.9.
Fifth in points for Ole Miss at 10.5 PPG, Davis will go to South Carolina Hot, an average of 15.3 points in his last four matches.
Not much is sizzling for Gamecocks (10-13, 0-10), which is on a 10-game’s losing line. They have not tasted the victory since they closed the non-conference schedule with a 69-59 rally past Presbyterian on December 30.
Half of South Carolina Sec -Bakslag has been with double numbers, with four of these five with at least 20 points.
South Carolina dropped a couple of three-point decisions-by them then no. 2 Auburn-in he falls 70-69 at home to the then no. 5 Florida despite having a 14-point second half lead.
An overtime loss to the then no. 14 Mississippi State and a four-point defeat against then no. 13 Texas A&M followed. However, Gamecock’s latest game was not close, but 80-57 setbacks to the then no. 14 Kentucky on Saturday.
“I spend most of my time, especially this year where we fight in all aspects of the game and try to help our guys be as good as they can get so that our product is as good as it can get,” Gamecock’s coach Lamont Paris said. “It takes a lot of time. I wouldn’t be a good coach if we didn’t spend any time on the opponent. We do.
“But Yeoman’s work is focused on what we do and how we can do better.”
Standout Hometown Product Collin Murray-Boyles tops South Carolina with averages of 15.4 points, 8.8 returns and 1.3 blocks. Jamarii Thomas leads in assists (3.3) and steals (1.6) while they set up 13.1 points per competition.
