BATON ROUGE, La. - Brandon Bass scored 14 points, including eight in the final 3:40, grabbed 11 rebounds and had five blocks, as LSU beat Mississippi 70-60 Wednesday night.
LSU (10-6, 3-2 Southeastern), coming off its worst loss in three years - 89-58 at Kentucky, hit its stride again at home. The Tigers are 10-1 at home this season, 0-4 on the road and have lost five straight Southeastern Conference road games.
Glen Davis also had his fifth double-double, scoring 13 points for LSU and taking 10 rebounds. Darrell Mitchell scored 16 points, Tack Minor had 12 and Antonio Hudson scored 10.
Tommie Eddie led Ole Miss with 15 points and Londrick Nolen had 12 before fouling out with four minutes left. Kendrick Fox also fouled out for Mississippi. The Rebels had 22 fouls to LSU's 10.
Ole Miss (11-9, 2-5), opened the second half with a 13-6 run to take a 10 point lead, 50-40, three minuets into the half.
Brandon Patterson made a basket with 11:53 left and Ole Miss got another two points at the 10:44 mark when Bass was called for goal tending on Todd Abernathy's shot. That gave the Rebels a 55-46 lead. But Mississippi did not score again until Patterson's 3-pointer with 2:50 remaining. By that time LSU had used a 13-0 run to take the lead.
