LOOK: Ole Miss fans react to big upset victory over No. 11 Auburn
On Wednesday night, No. 11 Auburn got its SEC schedule started in Oxford, taking on a hot, but unranked, Ole Miss squad.
What happened? Well, the Rebels dominated pretty much from the opening tip, cruising to an easy 82-67 victory over the Tigers. Auburn cut into the Rebels’ lead midway through the second half, but then Kermit Davis’s squad pulled away late for the big-time win.
Terence Davis led the way for the Rebels, scoring 27 points and grabbing 12 rebounds in the signature win for Davis’s squad.
Fans were thrilled with the way the Rebels played, and they took to Twitter to express their joy over the big win, as you can see below:
Ole Miss with the big win over #11 Auburn. That last place SEC projection might have been a little bit off.

That was no fluke. Ole Miss dominated in every aspect. Depth is going to be a problem at pointsthis season, but this team is no longer just a possibility of a threat.
They are legit.

Remember all the Ole Miss fans TRASHING the hire of @RebelCoachDavis because he wasn’t a big enough name? It’s only #MTSU? Or He’s too old? Yup… I do. Ha!!! #ToldYa #WeWillTakeHimBack #AreYouNotEntertained pic.twitter.com/Wh0ogM5qcZ

#OleMiss has won 11 of the last 13 against Auburn. The famed Marshall GIF was just the start of the Rebel horror for the Tigers.

All credit goes to bjork…….just ask him
You are a home school drop out
Big win
Lol Auburn.
Congrats to Ole Miss. That a nice win.
That was fun to watch, Auburn only stayed in the game due to their 3 point shooting. Within the arch they shot an abysmal 8 for 28 (28.6%). Defense was pretty solid for the rebs and I’m looking forward to the game vs State this weekend! Hotty Toddy!
Road Auburn continues to be a thing.. these guys have to learn to play outside of Auburn Arena
They obviously haven’t gelled as a team yet. Last year was all run and gun. Now they are trying to establish an interior game with Wiley and it isn’t working. Still time to figure it out.
That was a big win for Kermit and ole miss. Auburn just got more dangerous at home. Pearl will have them straightened out before long.
