OXFORD, Miss. (AP) — Zach Graham scored a career-high 30 points, Chris Warren added 15 and Mississippi cruised to a 90-59 victory over Auburn on Wednesday night.
Graham scored 14 points in the first half as the Rebels used a 19-5 run at the end of the first half to take a 39-22 lead. He was even better in the second half, finishing the game shooting 9 of 15 from the field and 7 of 11 from 3-point range.
Ole Miss (17-9, 5-6 Southeastern Conference) has won four out of its past five games to keep its slim NCAA Tournament at-large bid hopes alive.
