ATHENS — Ole Miss beat the buzzer and the No. 21-ranked Georgia Bulldogs in overtime on Wednesday night at Stegeman Coliseum.

Rebels freshmen Patton Pinkins scored the game-winning basket in the 97-95 win on a put-back off AJ Storr’s miss with 0.2 left.

Jeremiah Wilkinson led the No. 21-ranked Bulldogs with 32 points, but he missed both of his shots in overtime, as UGA made just 2 of 8 from the field in the 5-minute overtime period.

Wilkinson, from Powder Springs, Georgia, was 6 of 12 beyond the arc -- but he was understandably disappointed.

“It’s super frustrating .... we just have to be better and clean-up a lot of mistakes defensively, this game came down to us not being able to get a stop,” Wilkinson said.

“At the end of the day, it’s one game, and we have 14 more SEC games. We have no time to dwell on this.”

Kanon Catchings had 17 points for the Bulldogs (14-3, 2-2 SEC), who lost at home for the first time this season, Ole Miss snapping what had been a 12-game home win streak.

Storr led the Rebels (10-7, 2-2) with 27 points, and Pinkins scored 18 in a game that saw 16 ties and nine lead changes.

The game was tied 87-87 at the end of regulation, the Bulldogs unable to close the game out as they missed seven of their last eight shot attempts, including Justin Ross’ potential game-winning jumper in the finals seconds.

Storr forced the overtime, racing downcourt to score on a transition layup with 17 seconds remaining, leading to the 13th tie of regulation.

“You can’t just out-score people in this league. we have to be a lot better defensively,” UGA coach Mike White said. “They shot 60 percent in the second half, in our home with 10,000 people cheering for us. We gave up layups, and we gave up open threes.

“It’s unacceptable.”

Georgia held a 40-35 lead at halftime after trailing by 10 and scoring just 13 points at the midway point of the first half.

The Bulldogs made 9 of 18 attempts from 3-point range in the first half, led by Wilkinson’s five makes on seven attempts through the first 20 minutes.

Wilkinson missed his first two 3-point attempts before heating up, hitting his next five attempts to dig Georgia out of a hole.

Wilkinson’s first 3-point make came at the 10:07 mark and cut into the Rebels’ biggest lead of the half, making the score 20-13.

Wilkinson drained his next three shot attempts 8 beyond the 3-point arc, the third of which gave Georgia a 29-28 lead with 4:15 left in the half.

The accurate marksmanship appeared contagious, as Catchings and Justin Bailey followed with 3-point makes before Wilkinson drained another, to extending UGA’s lead to 38-34 two minutes before the teams headed to their halftime locker rooms.

Georgia returns to action at 4 p.m. on Saturday against No. 17-ranked Arkansas (12-4, 2-1).

Ole Miss plays host to Mississippi State (10-7, 2-2) at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday in Oxford.
