OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - Deandre Burnett scored 28 points, Breein Tyree added 15, and Ole Miss beat Missouri 80-77 on Saturday for its seventh-straight win against the Tigers.
Ole Miss (18-11, 9-7 Southeastern Conference) won its second straight after an overtime victory over Mississippi State on Tuesday. Missouri (7-21, 2-14) dropped its 34th straight road game.
The Rebels had chances to put the game away but the Tigers managed to hang around, shooting 20 of 35 (57.1 percent) in the second half. Missouri missed two 3-pointers in the final seconds that could have tied the game. The Tigers shot 10 of 30 (33.3 percent) from beyond the arc.
