Malik Dia Shines Again in Ole Miss Basketball's Win Over LSUThe Ole Miss Rebels ride high behind a huge performance from center Malik Dia.
Davon Barnes - Limited output vs. TigersBarnes amassed two points (1-2 FG), two rebounds and two steals over 19 minutes during Saturday's 77-65 victory over LSU.
ImpactBarnes has started the last three games for the Rebels, but he's scored a total of 14 points across those contests. The guard simply hasn't been that assertive as of late, averaging 4.4 shots-per-game over his last five outings. The Sam Houston transfer has also struggled from thee, hitting just 21.4 percent of his shots as opposed to the 39.1 percent he hit last season with the Bearkats.

Dre Davis - Continues solid seasonDavis racked up 10 points (3-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal over 32 minutes during Saturday's 77-65 win over LSU.
ImpactDavis hasn't necessarily lit up the stat-sheet since transferring to Ole Miss from Seton Hall; his points-per-game are down from 15.0 to 10.7 from last season to now. Part of that can be attributed to his role decreasing slightly, as he averages about seven less minutes per-game this year as well. Nonetheless, the two pillars of his game, scoring and rebounding, are alive and well and his 10 and six in those categories, respectively, helped the Rebels knock off LSU.

Jordan Sears - Not starting SaturdaySears (undisclosed) isn't starting for LSU against Mississippi on Saturday night.
ImpactSears has started every game for the Tigers this season, averaging 14.0 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists. He's been replaced in the starting five by Curtis Givens, a freshman making his first career start. It's unclear what's holding Sears out against the Bulldogs, but given his production, it's safe to assume there's some sort of issue with the guard.
