Ole Miss led by just six points early in the second half before beginning to pull away. A 3-pointer by Shuler capped a 16-5 run as the Rebels took a 59-42 advantage with 13:37 remaining.

The lead reached 20 when senior forward Justas Furmanavicius buried a 3-pointer with 10:21 left.

Ole Miss, which outrebounded the Bearkats 43-30, was in control the rest of the way.

The Rebels led 39-33 at the break despite missing 13 of their final 15 field-goal attempts.

Ole Miss used runs of 8-0 and 9-0 in the opening nine-plus minutes to grab a 21-6 advantage.

A short time later, Crawford drained back-to-back 3-pointers to make it 30-11 with 8:38 left in the half.

The Bearkats used a 10-0 burst to pull within 35-26 on Galbreath's jumper with 3:15 remaining and eventually cut the Ole Miss lead to six on Dewey's layup with 1:11 to play.
