Southern Miss: Harris made 6 of 12 field goals. The rest of the team went 10 of 37 (27%).
It didn't take long for Ole Miss to take control in either half. The Rebels scored 12 straight points and were up 16-2 less than seven minutes into the game and did it again with nine straight points to open the second half, including two inside baskets from Barnes and Murray's 3-pointer.
