Ole Miss led for most of the game and it was never really in doubt except for a moment when Missouri pulled within 9 midway through the 2nd half. Stefan Moody led the Rebels with 23 points, but he also did this...
He jumps high. https://t.co/NrvjawQAva

Moody, who was 10 of 10 from the free throw line, was the only Rebel who scored in double figures. BOX SCORE
It was a blowout, but that's what the Rebels were supposed to do to a Missouri team that has now lost seven straight. Winning the games you are supposed to win is a big deal in the SEC. If Ole Miss can continue to do just that it might make it back to the NCAA Tournament for the 2nd time in 3 years.

Ole Miss returns to Oxford with a legitimate winning streak (3 games) and is just one win over Texas A&M away from being tied for 2nd in the SEC. Finishing in the Top 4 is important for SEC Tournament seeding, and there's a good chance (if this year is like every other) Ole Miss will make or break its March Madness chances in the conference tournament. Therefore, being 2nd in the conference is a big deal.
Ole Miss (14-7, 5-3 SEC) hosts the Aggies this Wednesday.
Expect the Rebels to creep up in the RPI standings and stay in the NCAA Tournament outlook as a result of the win. Ole Miss was included in the NCAA brackets of both Joe Lunardi and Jerry Palm this week. A win over Texas A&M (15-5, 6-2 SEC) will turn some heads.
