Part 3/6:
As the game unfolded, various players contributed significantly to the Memphis victory. PJ Haggerty showcased his transition prowess, finishing with ease at the rim, while Matthew Morel, in his homecoming game, provided essential scoring for Ole Miss. However, it was Kobe Rogers who truly shone, demonstrating lethal perimeter shooting with timely three-pointers that disrupted any momentum Ole Miss attempted to build.
Memphis maintained a 221 defense strategy, contesting Ole Miss's attempts to penetrate, leading to turnovers that fueled their fast breaks. Despite the Rebels attempting to push back, the relentless energy of the Memphis team stifled their offensive flow.
