Ole Miss arrived for the 2001 Sweet 16 in San Antonio with a reputation as a nasty defensive stopper. And it was. The Rebels led 24-23 at halftime but couldn’t take advantage as Arizona also played one of its top defensive games of the year, limiting Ole Miss to 34.5 percent field goal shooting. Star of the game? UA center Loren Woods not only had 16 points and 11 rebounds but made all eight of his foul shots in a 66-56 win.
