Trailing 16-13 with 9:48 remaining in the first half, the Rebels used a 15-1 run to build a 28-17 advantage on Martavious Newby’s 3-pointer with 2:42 left. Henderson and Jarvis Summers also hit 3-pointers during the surge.

East Tennessee State shot 32.7 percent from the field (18-for-55). Mario Stramaglia and Jarvis Jones scored 11 points each for the Buccaneers.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Henderson, a junior-college transfer in his first season at Mississippi, started the day leading the SEC and ranking seventh in the nation in 3-pointers made. … Buckner blocked three shots, moving past Brandon Wallace (South Carolina) and Erick Dampier (Mississippi State) into 11th place on the all-time SEC blocks list with 250.
