Mississippi rallies for 90-88 win over UMass
OXFORD, Miss. — Mississippi’s Sebastian Saiz has a wide 6-foot-9, 240-pound body and an aggressive demeanor around the basket. When it comes to rebounding, his strategy is extremely simple.
“I just try to get them all,” Saiz said with a grin.
The senior nearly did on Monday night. It was his 19th rebound that led to the game-winning tip-in with 3.3 seconds left and lifted the Rebels over UMass 90-88.
Ole Miss (2-0) trailed for almost the entire second half before a late rally delivered the victory.
