Mississippi 63, Vanderbilt 52: Jarvis Summers led the way with 16 points as the visiting Rebels used a late run to hold off the Commodores.

Anthony Perez added 13 points off the bench, LaDarius White scored 11 and Aaron Jones recorded 10 rebounds and five blocks to key the Rebels’ defense.

Vanderbilt took a 46-45 lead on James Siakam’s layup with just over six minutes left before Henderson finally caught fire, knocking down 3-pointers on back-to-back possessions to cap a 10-0 burst and give Ole Miss a 55-46 cushion with just under four minutes to play. Perez’s two free throws made it a 60-50 gap and helped close it out.

The Rebels led by as many as 11 points in the first half and went into the break with a 29-20 advantage before scoring the first four points of the second. The Commodores used a 13-4 run capped by Odom’s 3-pointer with 12 1/2 minutes left to crawl back within four points and knotted it at 41 with just over eight minutes to play.
