The Rebels fell behind 14-2 early on Saturday, and much of the first half seemed to be in Mississippi State's favor. Ole Miss was outrebounded by a wide margin before halftime (and finished the game 51-29 in that category), opening up the door for a lot of second-chance opportunities for the Bulldogs.

Despite an impressive comeback, Ole Miss basketball's overtime loss at Mississippi State showed one weakness the previously undefeated Rebels have.

Chris Beard is doing Chris Beard things at Ole Miss, and the Rebels are the latest SEC basketball team to cement itself as a Final Four contender. Ole Miss moved up five spots in this week's SEC Power Rankings after beating Alabama and recording the program's first road win over a top-five team. No team made a bigger jump this week.
