OXFORD, Miss. -- Mississippi played pretty well for most of Thursday night, jumping out to a 20-point lead over Murray State by the middle of the second half. The Rebels looked well on their way to a ho-hum blowout non-conference win.Instead, Ole Miss walked away with a 78-73 win that was much more difficult than coach Andy Kennedy would have liked.Im frustrated because I know what I see and I know what were capable of, Kennedy said. I know this team has to live on a razors edge as it relates to focus, toughness and execution and we refuse to live there because its difficult.Deandre Burnett scored 24 points and Terence Davis added 16 points for the Rebels. Sebastian Saiz had 15 points and 14 rebounds for his fifth double-double of the season.Ole Miss (7-3) had a comfortable advantage for most of the game -- leading 62-42 with 10:55 remaining -- but a late Murray State run made things interesting. The Racers rallied to pull within 77-73 with 17.7 seconds remaining.We just relaxed. We cant do that, Saiz said. We play really hard at times. Weve just got to keep it up for 40 minutes.Kennedy was upset that the Rebels missed on so many opportunities to put the game away earlier.We missed eight layups, Kennedy said. Eight layups. For SEC scholarship players. Layups that I can make right now in this tie and these slippery shoes Im wearing.Weve got to get better.Burnett scored a big chunk of his points on free throws, making 14 of 16. Ole Miss shot just 22 of 62 (35.5 percent) from the field.Murray State (5-6) was led by Terrell Miller, who scored 27 points. The 6-foot-8 junior was efficient from everywhere on the court, shooting 8 of 12 from the field, including 4 of 6 from 3-point range. He added 10 rebounds and two assists.Well never, ever celebrate losing, but Im very pleased with the fight and the way we played, Murray State coach Matt McMahon said. Even down 15, 18 points, we were really defending and competing. We just werent able to complete some plays on the offensive end.Ole Miss led 43-31 at halftime, taking the lead for good with 10:32 remaining in the first half on Burnetts 3-pointer that made it 22-19.BIG PICTUREOle Miss: The Rebels were able to bounce back from an 80-75 loss to Virginia Tech on Saturday.

Felipe Massa does not understand how Fernando Alonso escaped punishment at the U.S. Grand Prix after making two questionable overtaking manoeuvres towards the end of the race.Alonso made contact with Massa as he passed him on the inside of Turn 15, resulting in a puncture for the Williams driver and putting an end to his chances of finishing higher than seventh. The incident was investigated following the race, but after both drivers put forward their arguments the stewards decided not to take any action. Alonso later passed Carlos Sainz by running off the track, but in that instance the stewards felt no need to open an investigation.Speaking in Mexico, Massa could not believe that neither incident warranted a penalty.I spoke together with the stewards, yeah, Massa said. My only thought is that he [Alonso] had good friends there, to be honest. If you look from the top it looks amazing what he did. If you look from his inside camera he was far away. He was not close enough to try to overtake. He didnt brake. When he braked he locked the wheels and just hit me.If I was not there he was never going to go through the corner. Never. Which definitely the stewards need to evaluate, need to have the decision. Sometimes it is a little bit inconsistent, sometimes not. Maybe some times it is correct or not. But then he had another one [with Sainz] that he was outside brakinng, he braked too late.dddddddddddd He went off the track and everybody is happy.So at least one of these two incidents he was supposed to get a penalty -- like many other drivers have by doing that, or some other drivers didnt by doing even a little bit too much. So its inconsistent.Alonso, meanwhile, stood by his move, saying he took a risk and was lucky also not to suffer a puncture on his car.No its a corner where you cannot see the inside or the apex. You brake more or less in the middle part of the circuit and the apex is way on the left, so its a corner that is a blind entry sometimes. The movement and the commitment that you have to do is quite big because you know the risks that are on this manoeuvre.But I braked very late on purpose just because of that, because I wanted to put the car alongside him or in front of him because if not then he cant see me. So I braked very late for that reason. Unfortunately we touched each other, he had a puncture, I had a slow puncture as well with a tyre rim broken, so very, very lucky.When asked if Massa was unhappy in the stewards room, Alonso said: No. Its a race incident and everyone has maybe similar opinions or at least the stewards have that opinion so there is not much to talk about.
