This was a heartbreaking result for the Rebels (15-4, 4-2 SEC) who led the entirety of the game before the pivotal three. Following the loss, head coach Chris Beard discussed what went wrong and what can be gleaned from this result as Ole Miss looks to move ahead in SEC play.

With a win over No. 4 Alabama in Tuscaloosa last Tuesday, the Rebels traveled to Starkville on Saturday to take on rival Mississippi State and lost a nail-bitter 84-81. With No. 13 Texas A&M next on the schedule, the ability to "bounce back" and secure a win will be crucial for the rest of the Rebels' season.
