No. 24 Mississippi 62, Tennessee 56: Marshall Henderson scored 28 points, including a 3-pointer that put the Rebels ahead to stay, and Mississippi rallied from a rough first half to complete a season sweep of the visiting Volunteers.

Henderson, who went 0-for-4 from the field in the first half, went 7-for-12 after halftime to lead all scorers. Reginald Buckner added 10 points as the Rebels (16-2, 5-0 SEC) won their eighth consecutive game.

Jordan McRae led Tennessee (9-8, 1-4) with 26 points but also committed nine of his team's 21 turnovers. Trae Golden added 11 points off the bench.

The Vols' defense set the tone early. Tennessee held Mississippi to four made field goals in the first half and led 25-18 at the break. The Rebels rallied by outscoring Tennessee 15-7 in the first six minutes of the second half to grab a 33-32 lead.

Murphy Holloway tied the game for Ole Miss at 53-53 on a free throw with 4:11 left, and when Ole Miss rebounded Holloway's missed free throw, Henderson sank the go-ahead 3-pointer. Tennessee mustered three points the rest of the way.
