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.

"This is the SEC," Ole Miss coach Chris Beard said. "A two-game winning streak, it's free breakfast burritos in the morning. People want to throw you a parade. A two-game losing streak and you feel like the sun won't come up tomorrow."

The Ole Miss Rebels suffered their third-straight loss on Wednesday night at the hands of the Missouri Tigers.

No. 1 Auburn once again showed its brilliance, while No. 8 Kentucky came out victorious. One ranked team that hasn't been talked about much is No. 21 Ole Miss, which is one of two teams undefeated in SEC play. The Rebels showed why it should be within every discussion when it went to Coleman Coliseum and defeated No. 4 Alabama 74-64.
