Ole Miss 92, Austin Peay 63:
Jarvis Summers scored 18 points as the Rebels warmed up for a date
with No. 1 Kentucky with an easy non-conference win over the visiting
Governors.
Stefan Moody added 14 points,
including four 3-pointers, and three steals for Ole Miss (9-4), which
shot a season-best 54.8 percent from the field. Dwight Coleby added
12 points and seven rebounds off the bench, while Terence Smith had
10 points for the Rebels.
Khalil Davis led Austin Peay
(5-9) with 20 points while Chris Freeman added 12 points and six
rebounds. Ed Dyson chipped in with 10 points for the Governors, who

Austin Peay started fast, taking
a 10-4 lead in the opening 2:08 on a pair of 3-pointers by Dyson, but
the Governors scored just four points over the next nine minutes as the

Ole Miss started to heat up, scoring 23 points — including seven by
Summers — over the rest of the half to take a 13-point lead into
the break.
The onslaught continued at the
start of the second, as the lead went up to 19 in less than two
minutes when the Rebels scored the first six points, and Ole Miss
never looked back. An 11-2 run pushed the lead to 27 on Sebastian
Saiz's layup with 11:07 to go, and a 12-0 run pushed it to 30 with
4:41 to play.
