Ole Miss 95, Fordham 68:
Senior forward Reginald Buckner scored 18 points, grabbed eight rebounds and blocked six shots to lead the host Rebels over the Rams.

Guard Marshall Henderson scored a game-high 21 points and forward Murphy Holloway added 15 points and 13 rebounds - his seventh double-double of the season and 32nd of his career - for Ole Miss (11-2), which led by as many as 30 points late in the second half.

Sophomore center Ryan Canty had 15 points and nine rebounds and guard Bryan Smith added 14 points, including four 3-pointers, for Fordham (4-11), which took an early 10-6 lead on a 3-pointer by guard Mandell Thomas.

But the Rebels, sparked by Henderson's back-to-back 3-pointers, went on a 17-4 run over the next six minutes to take a 23-14 lead en route to a 46-35 halftime advantage. Fordham never got closer than 11 points the rest of the way.

Guards Derrick Millinghaus (16) and Nick Williams (11) also scored in double figures for Ole Miss, which recorded a season-high for points and forced 22 turnovers.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Ole Miss is the first SEC team to reach the 11-win mark this season. ... Buckner's six blocks give him 268 in his career. That moved him past Alabama's Roy Rogers (266) into a tie for ninth place in SEC history for career blocked shots with Jamaal Magloire of Kentucky (1997-2000). ... The Rebels improved to 8-0 at home.
