FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) - Reginald Buckner nearly had a triple-double and Andy Kennedy became the fastest coach in program history to reach 100 wins as Ole Miss secured a 69-60 road win at Arkansas on Saturday.

Chris Warren took control in the second half, scoring 19 points to lead the Rebels.

Warren, who hit a game-winning 3-pointer against Kentucky on Tuesday, scored 15 of his points in the second half for the Rebels. Ole Miss (15-8, 3-5 Southeastern) has now won three of four after four-straight losses to open conference play.

Buckner had 11 points and 12 rebounds, while he blocked eight shots to tie Ansu Sesay's school record for a game. The sophomore from Memphis, Tenn., also surpassed his own school record for swats in a season. He has 72 after blocking 64 as a freshman last year.

Zach Graham added 17 points and eight rebounds. Terrance Henry had 11 points, eight boards and three blocks.

As a team, Ole Miss blocked 12 shots, which is tied for second most in school history.

The Rebels led throughout the first half before Arkansas took its first lead after a steal and layup by Mardracus Wade put the Razorbacks up 38-36 in the second half.

After Julysses Nobles tied the game at 43 for Arkansas, Ole Miss took control with a 17-4 run to go up 60-47 and never trailed again.

Marshawn Powell led the Razorbacks (14-8, 4-5) with 19 points despite sitting out more than five minutes to start the game after injuring an ankle during the pregame shootaround.
