Ole Miss 79, Oregon 73: Stefan Moody scored 22 points and Sebastian Saiz added a season-high 17 as the visiting Rebels topped the Ducks.

Ladarius White contributed 13 points and six rebounds off the bench as Ole Miss (6-2) bounced back from a 12-point home loss to TCU by winning for the sixth time in seven games. Aside from Moody and Saiz, the other three Rebels starters scored a total of five points on 2-of-14 shooting.

Dillon Brooks scored 21 points for Oregon (5-3), which had its 11-game home winning streak snapped. Joseph Young added 17 points and Elgin Cook had 15 for the Ducks.

Ole Miss shot 5-of-7 from 3-point range in the first half - 4-of-4 by Moody - and connected on 12-of-14 foul shots en route to a 47-33 halftime advantage. The teams were tied six times before the Rebels scored 10 straight points to take a 33-24 lead, and Moody's 3-pointer just before the buzzer ended the half in style.

Aaron Jones' layup about halfway through the second stanza made it 61-42, but the Ducks rallied to get within 63-54 thanks to seven straight points by Cook. Moody dunked with 36 seconds left to put the Rebels ahead 79-67 before six straight points by Oregon made the final score a bit more respectable.
