Chris Warren led the way with 18 points and five assists as Mississippi rolled Mississippi Valley State 101-69 Monday.

Trevor Gaskins added 15 points and Terrence Henry chipped in 14 and eight rebounds for the Rebels.

Mississippi (6-2) dominated on both ends in the first half, shooting 53 percent while forcing 10 turnovers to double up the Delta Devils, 52-26. Warren had 15 points in the first half and the Rebels benefited from hitting 11-of-13 free throws.

Mississippi Valley State (1-7) made a bid to get back into it with a 16-3 spurt to begin the second half, but Ole Miss responded with an 11-0 run of its own to squash any hope.

The Rebels have five more non-conference games in a row, with the lone road test coming at Southern Methodist January 5. Eleven wins before the start of SEC play would give them a nice cushion in their hopes for an NCAA Tournament berth. SEC play begins for Ole Miss at Florida on January 8.
