5 seniors leave lasting impact on Ole Miss basketball
LOGAN CONNER STAFF WRITER
After another memorable season, the men’s basketball program says goodbye to its outgoing cast of seniors. Seniors Marcanvis Hymon, Deandre Burnett, Justas Furmanavicius, Lane Below and graduate student Markel Crawford leave behind an impressive set of legacies that will not be forgotten. Despite spending the first two seasons of his collegiate career at Miami (Florida), Deandre Burnett trans- ferred to Ole Miss in 2015 and has been a fan favorite since. After sitting out the required penalty season due to transfer, Burnett played in all 33 games of his ju- nior season, averaging 16.5 points per game off 35.5 percent field-goal shoot- ing and a 37.6 three-point percentage. Burnett scored a career high of 41 points in a 95-88 overtime win in a 2016 preseason tourna- ment against Oral Roberts. He finished his junior year having scored in double-fig- ures 26 times, including 10 games with 20-plus points. This season, Burnett is av- eraging 13.6 points and 3.9 assists per game. The guard also averaged 37.7 percent from the field and 35.4 percent behind the arc. In a 78-66 win against Alabama, Burnett scored a season-high 24 points and FILE PHOTO: MARLEE CRAWFORD contributed four rebounds Senior forward Justas Furmanavicius (50) passes the ball past an Arkansas defender during a basketball game earlier this season. and three assists.
