The second half started with Georgia scoring the first seven points to trail only 34-30, but then Ole Miss went on their own run of 18-9 to lead 52-39 with 6:55 left in the game. Georgia then responded and went on their own run and actually made it a two-point game at 65-63 with 12 seconds left. The Rebels went onto make a free throw to extend the lead to three points and that left Georgia with one last chance to tie the game.
