Adam Clark and Patton Pinkins lead Ole Miss over Alcorn State 99-58
Adam Clark scored 17 points and Ole Miss forced 26 turnovers in a season-opening rout.
On Monday, Ole Miss opened its season with a 99-58 win over Alcorn State at the Sandy and John Black Pavilion, led by Adam Clark's 17 points and seven assists and Patton Pinkins' 16 points.
Head coach Chris Beard has revitalized the Rebels with a high-energy defensive style, fielding a roster with only three returners from last season. The team forced 26 turnovers and dominated early.
Ole Miss shot 57% from the field and finished with 25 assists on 35 made baskets. Guard Corey Stephenson delivered a two-handed slam and swatted an Alcorn State shot, providing highlight plays on both ends.
Despite the win, rebounding woes returned for the Rebels, who lack interior size with Florida transfer Micah Handlogten's eligibility pending and Santiago Trouet serving as the primary tall presence.
The Rebels return to action on Friday, November 06, 2026 at the SJB Pavilion to face the University of Central Arkansas, with tip-off scheduled for 7:30 p.m. .
