Freshman guard Malik Benlevi drained a 3-pointer to pull Georgia State within five with 45.3 seconds left, but Brooks and Moody each hit two free throws to seal it for Ole Miss.

Moody scored seven straight points to give Ole Miss a 56-49 lead with 7:57 remaining. Georgia State didn't wilt and four straight points by Hollowell cut the Rebels' lead to 58-56 with 2:18 to play.

Ole Miss led by 10 points in the first half after a basket by Saiz with 3:24 left. But Georgia State finished with a 10-3 burst to pull within 35-32 at the break.

Rebels senior forward Anthony Perez didn't return after scoring a basket with 17:59 remaining. He fell to the floor after taking an inadvertent elbow in the back of his head and was escorted to the locker room.
