Old Miss's offensive strategy effectively exploited Kentucky’s defensive vulnerabilities. Players like Morel repeatedly found success, driving towards the basket and creating space for open shots. By the time halftime approached, Old Miss had established a significant lead, capitalizing on Kentucky's inefficiencies and managing to score with exceptional accuracy—hitting 11 of 19 from three-point range.
Their ability to create shot opportunities through quick ball movement and timely cuts proven to be lethal. This was particularly evident when they utilized shot fakes and drop-down passes, forcing Kentucky to scramble defensively.
