Kezza Giffa - College Basketball News & Rumors

Playing vs. South Carolina Giffa (leg) is available for Saturday's game against South Carolina.

Impact Giffa has been dealing with a leg injury, but the senior guard will be available for the first time since Feb. 7. Even if he plays, he's not expected to play a big role in the rotation, making his fantasy upside minimal.

Dealing with leg injury Giffa has been sidelined with a leg injury, Sam Hutchens of The Clarion Ledger reports.

Impact Giffa hasn't played for Ole Miss since Feb. 7, when he posted 10 points across 28 minutes in a loss to Texas. It's unclear if the senior will return to the hardwood before the end of the regular season.

Out against Bama Giffa (undisclosed) is out for Wednesday's game against Alabama.

Impact Giffa will miss his first game of the season after popping up on the injury report ahead of the conference showing. The senior guard's next chance to see the court will be this Saturday versus Mississippi State. He's averaging 6.6 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.4 assists on 16 minutes per game.

Leads scoring front off bench Giffa closed with 14 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Monday's 79-43 win over Alcorn State.

Impact Giffa remained the fringe sixth man for the Rebels in the eventual blowout win, but he ended up being a huge scorer. The senior guard recorded his second-highest points of the season with 14, and he did so with two three-pointers (tied season-high). He'll look to be a big contributor against a tougher opponent at Oklahoma on Saturday.

Kamardine dazzles with 26 points, Ole Miss takes down Memphis 83-77

Ilias Kamardine tallied 26 points, three other players reached double figures, and Ole Miss won in an 83-77 thriller against Memphis on Tuesday night

NOVEMBER 12, 2025 • Associated Press

Starts, scores 15 Giffa closed Tuesday's 83-77 win over Memphis with 15 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-11 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal over 33 minutes.

Impact The senior from France had scored a combined 21 points in the first two games while playing 15 minutes off the bench. His move to the starting lineup in place of Travis Perry resulted in a pleasant accumulation of scoring and playmaking. The 6-1 senior had averaged at least 14.6 points in his previous two seasons with High Point, so he has a proven track record of putting the ball in the basket.

16 points in championship win Giffa produced 16 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes during Sunday's 81-69 win over Winthrop.

Impact Giffa's solid performance against Winthrop marked a nice bounce-back effort after scoring 10 points on 3-of-11 from the field in the semifinal round. Giffa has been prone to slow shooting nights throughout the season but consistently came back with double-digit scoring efforts in the next game aside from a two-game stretch in December. Giffa remains the key figure in one of the nation's most underrated offenses heading into the NCAA Tournament.
