Can Ole Miss Rebels Overcome Texas A&M Aggies' Dominant Rebounding?

In a recent face-off, the Ole Miss Rebels fell short against the Texas A&M Aggies with a final score of 86-60. The Rebels now stand with an additional loss to their record, while the Aggies have notched another victory. The game, played at The Sandy and John Black Pavilion at Ole Miss, saw a turnout of 7,819 spectators who witnessed the home team struggle to keep up with their opponents' pace.

The Rebels started off on an uneven footing in the first half, scoring 29 points to the Aggies' 42. Despite improving slightly in the second half by adding 31 points to their tally, it was not enough to close the gap created by Texas A&M's consistent performance throughout both halves. The home team's shooting accuracy was notably lower than that of their competitors; they achieved a field goal percentage of only 39 percent compared to a solid 50 percent from Texas A&M.

One critical aspect where Ole Miss lagged behind was in rebounding. They managed only 21 rebounds throughout the game—17 personal and four team rebounds—which paled in comparison to Texas A&M's total rebound count of 50. This included an impressive haul of offensive rebounds by Texas A&M that led them to score an additional 20 second-chance points.

Despite matching fast break points and steals with eight each for both teams, turnovers told another story for Ole Miss. They committed nine player turnovers which contributed significantly less towards points off turnovers than those made by Texas A&M.

The three-point line also proved challenging for Ole Miss as they converted just eight out of twenty-eight attempts resulting in a three-point percentage hovering around twenty-nine percent; meanwhile, their adversaries capitalized on this aspect by sinking thirteen out of twenty-six attempts from beyond the arc.

Ole Miss did show resilience on defense with more blocks than Texas A&M—three compared to two—and fewer personal fouls—eleven against thirteen—but these efforts were overshadowed by other aspects where they were outperformed.
