Morgan Freeman's actions during an Ole Miss basketball game against Auburn drew criticism from a group of fans. Freeman, an avid Ole Miss basketball fan with deep ties to Mississippi, grabbed the jersey of Auburn forward Johni Broome during the game. Broome initially swatted at Freeman's hand, thinking it was a fan trying to distract him, but quickly apologized after recognizing the legendary actor. Auburn went on to win the game 91-77, with Broome scoring 15 points. Freeman, who is originally from Mississippi, typically attends Ole Miss basketball games, and his interaction with Broome added an interesting twist to the contest.
