The early departures got a surprise that Ole Miss coach Chris Beard apologized for. Texas A&M beat Ole Miss 63-62 on Wednesday night. The Aggies closed the game on a 10-2 run. It was No. 16 Ole Miss' (15-4, 4-2 SEC) second SEC loss. Like the first one, an overtime loss at Mississippi State, Ole Miss' defeat was in a one-possession game.

After starting 4-0 in SEC play, the No. 16 Ole Miss Rebels have taken two losses in dramatic fashion as a Texas A&M three-pointer with seconds left gave the Aggies their first lead of the night on Wednesday and eventually a 63-62 win.
