OXFORD, Miss. – The Ole Miss men's basketball team dropped their regular season finale against Texas A&M 86-60 on Saturday in the SJB Pavilion.

Trailing by double digits, Jaylen Murray cut the deficit to seven on a three-pointer to make it 27-20 with 6:43 before the half. After getting within six on a pair of free throws from Jaemyn Brakefield, Texas A&M (18-13, 9-9 SEC) would lead 42-29 at the half. Ole Miss was unable to climb back in the second period.
The Rebels were led by Jaylen Murray with 21 points, who connected on a trio of three pointers. With 10 points, Brakefield became the 43rd member of the 1,000-career point club at Ole Miss.
