BILOXI, Miss. (AP) — AJ Storr scored 21 points on 8-of-12 shooting and reserve Kezza Giffa led a Mississippi bench surge with 13 points and the Rebels beat Southern Miss 71-67 on Saturday.
Giffa shot 4-for-6, fellow reserve Patton Pinkins scored 12 points and Malik Dia 11 for Ole Miss (6-4), which ended a four-game losing streak.
Despite shooting 29% (5 of 17) from 3-point range, Ole Miss finished 49% (24 of 49) overall and got a critical 29-point bench effort.
Isaac Taveras scored 20 points and Tylik Weeks 18 for the Golden Eagles (6-5), which committed 14 turnovers to just eight for Ole Miss.
Dylan Brumfield made a pair of foul shots to get Southern Miss within 67-64 with 18 seconds left before Giffa sank two foul shots and Ilias Kamardine made a pair with six seconds left to seal it.
