@ Dayton – 12/30/14 Jarvis Summers scored 20 points, but it wasn’t enough to propel Ole Miss to victory as Dayton beat Ole Miss 78-74. The Flyers have now beaten the Rebels two years in a row, and they did it without their two tallest players on the team — center Devon Scott and forward Jalen Robinson, who were suspended by Dayton for an incident involving a dorm room theft. However, the loss doesn’t look so bad now, as Dayton is currently ranked in the AP Top 25 poll.
@ #1 Kentucky – 1/6/15 There’s no question that Ole Miss gave Kentucky their toughest challenge of the season as the Rebels fell 89-86 in overtime. The Rebels led 38-36 at halftime, and senior Jarvis Summers had a chance to win the game as he missed a last second three-point attempt as regulation time expired. Junior Stefan Moody and Jarvis Summers combined to score 48 points but couldn’t come through in the final minute of overtime as Kentucky survived. This was the closest game that Kentucky has played all year, and the scrappy Rebel defense made it tough all game for Kentucky, who is still ranked number one in the country. Ole Miss is 0-16 all-time vs. AP top-ranked teams and 13 of those losses have come against the hands of the Wildcats.
vs. South Carolina – 1/10/15 The backcourt duo of Jarvis Summers and Stefan Moody played good basketball again as they combined to score 36 points in their first conference win of the season as they defeated the Gamecocks 65-49. Ole Miss never trailed in this one as they held South Carolina to 36 percent shooting. The Tad Pad also experienced a 23-minute power outage that caused a delay of the game.
vs. LSU- 1/14/15- Plain and simple, the Rebels got out-played and dominated by junior LSU guard Keith Hornsby, who scored 20 of his 23 points in the second half to propel the Tigers to a 75-71 win over the Rebels. LSU did a good job of containing Summers and Moody as they both combined to shoot 11-of-35.
@ #19 Arkansas – 1/17/15 Out of nowhere, we saw a rejuvenated Ole Miss team score a season-high 96 points to upset the 19th-ranked Arkansas Razorbacks 96-82 in Bud Walton Arena. Top to bottom, this was the best basketball game the Rebels played all season. The tall guys came up big for the Rebels as sophomore forward Sebastian Saiz and sophomore center Dwight Coleby both chipped in 12 points. Ole Miss had lost 28-straight road games against top-20 teams before defeating Arkansas.
@ Georgia – 1/20/15 The Rebels finally looked like they had gained some consistency as they led Georgia at halftime 31-25. However, the second half was a different story. With Georgia leading 62-60, Ole Miss had two chances to take the lead or tie, but Stefan Moody turned the ball over, and Jarvis Summers committed an offensive foul that sealed their fate 69-64 in the loss.
vs. Florida – 1/24/15 Jarvis Summers’ late-game heroics rallied Ole Miss to a 72-71 victory after he made two free throws with 3.5 seconds to play. The Rebels gained revenge on the Gators, who beat Ole Miss last year 75-71 in Oxford.
