Ole Miss basketball lands Saint Peter's transfer guard Jaylen Murray

OXFORD — When it was over, Memphis coach Penny Hardaway sat at the podium inside the SJB Pavilion, wishing he had a little dose of what Jaylen Murray brought Ole Miss basketball.

Call it talent. Call it magic. Call it guts. The label bears little consequence. What matters is this: Murray, a 5-foot-11 point guard from The Bronx, grabbed Saturday afternoon’s game between the Rebels and Tigers and made it his.

“He was such a problem because we couldn’t guard him,” Hardaway said. “We put everybody on him. … All you can do is tip your hat to someone like that.”

Murray scored to put Ole Miss ahead three times in the final 2:11 until the Rebels finally made the lead stick with a stop on the other end. His decisive bucket came with 18 seconds on the clock when he drove hard from the left wing to the right block, twisting around a defender and flicking a scooped layup off the backboard and in with his right hand.
