OXFORD, Miss. (AP) — Stefan Moody scored 17 points, Tomasz Gielo added 15 and Mississippi beat Arkansas 76-60 on Saturday.
Ole Miss (16-9, 6-6 Southeastern Conference) has won three of its last four games as it tries to make a move up the league standings in the season's final month.
The Rebels trailed for most of the first half, but rallied to beat Arkansas for the 11th times in 14 games in the series. Five Ole Miss players scored at least 10 points.
Arkansas (12-13, 5-7) has a 1-10 record in games away from home this season. The Razorbacks were more competitive on Saturday than in their previous road effort — a 78-46 loss to Mississippi State — but still struggled to hit shots.
Moses Kingsley led Arkansas with 19 points and 13 rebounds. Anthlon Bell added 16 points.
Arkansas jumped out to an early lead, pushing the advantage to 19-8 by midway through the first half.
Ole Miss responded thanks to some big shots from unexpected sources like Gielo, Anthony Perez and Donte Fitzpatrick-Dorsey. Gielo was especially important, scoring 12 first-half points, including a pair of 3-pointers when the offense was otherwise stagnant.
The Rebels eventually rallied to take a 33-30 after a layup by Martavious Newby, but Arkansas bounced back for the 37-35 halftime advantage.
Ole Miss won despite a tough game for Moody, who made just 4 of 17 shots from the field, including 0 of 7 from 3-point range. He came into the game leading the SEC with 23.3 points per game.
TIP-INS
Arkansas: Bell came into Saturday's game making 47 percent of his 3-point attempts which is tops in the SEC. He was 3 of 9 from long range against the Rebels.
Ole Miss: Forward Sebastian Saiz played his second straight game since returning from an eye injury. The 6-foot-9 forward had surgery to repair a partially detached retina in his right eye in January and missed six games. He wore protective sunglasses because his eye is still partially dilated and finished with 11 points and four rebounds.
