DIAMOND HEAD CLASSIC

December 22-25, 2012

 

(Honolulu, Hawai’i)  Game 1 of the Diamond Head Classic will see Ole Miss (8-1) playing Indiana State (5-3).  Game time is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. HST on Saturday December 22, 2012.

 

Fantastic start for the 2012 edition of the Diamond Head Classic as Ole Miss and Indiana State went to overtime to decide game 1!

 

The actually nearly went into double overtime if it had not been for some very clutch foul-shooting by Indiana in the final few seconds of OT.

 

Jake Odum, after taking a finger to the eye, calmly went to the line and dropped two to give State a 4-point lead.

 

Neither team showed any depth from their benches as State got 10 off the bench and Ole Miss 11.

 

If Ole Miss wants to know why they didn't win this one - they don't have look any further than the charity stripe as they shot a woeful 7-13 (53.8%) comparted to 18-24 (75%) for State.

 

Indiana State advance to semi-final # 1 and await the winner of San Diego State and San Francisco.

 

Final score:  IS 87-85 OM in overtime

Indiana State:

Manny Arop - 27

Jake Odum - 16

 

Ole Miss:

Marshall Henderson - 27

Reginald Buckner - 16
