Chris Warren had 24 points and nine assists, and Zach Graham added 15 points on five 3-pointers, as Mississippi knocked Arkansas down another peg in the seeding for next week's SEC Tournament with an 84-74 home victory Saturday.

Warren and Graham, playing their final regular-season game at Tad Smith Coliseum, combined to go 9 for 13 from 3-point range, leading the Rebels' strong shooting performance — they shot 54.5 percent overall and 63.6 percent (14 of 22) from 3-point range.

Terrance Henry added 13 points, and Dundrecous Nelson scored 10 for the Rebels (19-12, 7-9 SEC), who will be the No. 3 seed from the Western Division next week in Atlanta. They will face South Carolina in the first round at 3:30 p.m. Thursday.

Rotnei Clark scored 26 points to lead Arkansas.

The Razorbacks (18-12, 7-9) could have clinched the No. 2 seed from the Western Division and a first-round bye in the conference tournament with a win against Mississippi State on Wednesday. They could've locked up the No. 3 seed with a win Saturday, instead they slid to No. 4 and will play at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the first round.
