Ole Miss averted disaster, and continued its end-of-season push for an NCAA Tournament bid, with a 79-76 win over Missouri on Saturday.

The Rebels (19-6, 6-6 SEC) snapped a three-game skid. They came into play projected by ESPN as the last of eight SEC teams (and an 11-seed) in the NCAA Tournament field of 68. Their next game is at in-state rival Mississippi State in three days. 

Senior guard Matthew Murrell matched his season-high in points (26) and made threes (six). The included photos were provided by Ole Miss Athletics, as well as Bruce Newman, special to the Ole Miss Spirit.

The included videos, among them highlights from the original ESPN broadcast, were provided by Ole Miss Athletics.
