SAN DIEGO (AP) — Jaylen Murray scored nine of his career-high 28 points in overtime and No. 23 Mississippi beat BYU 96-85 on Thursday in the Rady Children’s Invitational to extend its nonconference winning streak to 19 games, the longest in the country.
Murray hit a jumper 1:17 into OT to give the Rebels the lead for good. He added two free throws, a three-point play and two more free throws to help put the game out of reach.
Dre Davis and Matthew Murrell added 18 points apiece for the Rebels (6-0) in a fast-paced, sometimes-chippy game, while Sean Pedulla had 13.
Kanon Catchings scored 17 points to lead five players in double figures for the Cougars (5-1). Egor Demin, Richie Saunders and Fousseyni Traore added 16 apiece, and Mihailo Boskovic had 10.
Ole Miss will face No. 13 Purdue in the championship game on Friday.
Takeaways
BYU: The Cougars hit three 3-pointers in the first 4:40 and seven in the first half, four by Catchings. BYU finished 12 of 38 overall from behind the arc.
Ole Miss: Murray’s previous career high was 26 points in a 77-68 win last season against Mount St. Mary’s.
Key moment
Murray made a layup to tie it at 77 with 26 seconds left in regulation. After Traore missed a short jumper, Pedulla’s desperation heave bounced off the back of the rim.
Key stat
Ole Miss made 29 of 36 free throws, including 10 of 14 by Davis.
