“Never fun coming in after a loss but it’s one of those days where I feel encouraged,” head coach Brett Frank said.  “I thought our team responded well to the week off and competed well.  I thought we showed improvement in several areas and I think we played really well together as a unit today.”

Missouri pushed its lead to six, 26-20, with 5:45 left to play but Ole Miss came back to tie the game at 32-32 at the half on a floater from McFarland at the buzzer.

At the half, McFarland led Ole Miss with 13 points while McCray added eight. As a team, the Rebels shot 36.4 percent (12-33) from the floor while the Tigers shot 40 percent (12-30).

In the second half, Missouri used a 12-2 run to go up 48-41 with 13:49 left in the game. Ole Miss took a one-point lead on a layup from Faleru with 6:23 to play.  

Missouri went up by two before Courtney Marbra scored to tie the game at 62-62 with 1.3 seconds.  The Tigers took a timeout and Gracie Frizzell stole the Tigers’ inbounds pass and Ole Miss called a timeout. With .9 left on the clock Ole Miss didn’t get a shot off and the game went into overtime.
