The Rebels picked up their second win in as many games to open the 2023-24 campaign with a 75-64 victory over 2023 Big Sky champion Eastern Washington on Friday.
Ole Miss was led by Allen Flanigan, the transfer wing from Auburn, who finished with a career-best 29 points, including a jumper for his 1,000th career point with 9:36 remaining. He scored eight of the Rebels’ last 11 points.

Beard met the media to discuss the win, as did first-year Rebels Jaylen Murray and Rashaud Marshall.
Murray, a transfer from Saint Peter’s, has started each of the first two games. He had seven points, three assists, two rebounds and a steal for Ole Miss against Eastern Washington.
Marshall is a true freshman. He signed as a four-star and consensus On3 Top 100 prospect in the spring. Marshall made all four of his field goals for nine points in 16 minutes in the win.
Here’s everything the trio had to say.
