Rebels Down Trojans on Road

Box Score

TROY, Ala. (AP) - Senior guard Jarvis Summers scored 21 points, while junior Stefan Moody and senior LaDarius White added 14 points each, as Ole Miss defeated Troy 74-64 Monday.

The Rebels (1-1) shot 50 percent from the field and outrebounded the Trojans 42-28. Saiz led the Rebels in rebounds, pulling down nine boards, while White added eight.

Moody, a junior college transfer, added all 14 points in the second half. The Kissimmee, Florida, native's basket with two and half minutes remaining gave Ole Miss its biggest lead at 70-55. Troy never led.

"I saw improvement in a lot of areas," Ole Miss head coach Andy Kennedy said. "We rebounded much better and we made some shots, but we're still a work in progress."

Wesley Person scored 25 points for the Trojans, the most by a Troy freshman in at least 14 years, to lead the Trojans (1-1).

The Trojans, down 34-23 at halftime, pulled within four early in the second half, but Ole Miss scored on its next four possessions, capped by a basket by Summers and led 44-32.

After Troy sliced the lead to five with 13 minutes left, the Rebels scored-six straight points, including four by Moody.

Sophomore Sebastian Saiz added eight points, while senior M.J. Rhett finished with six points and six rebounds.

Freshman Marcanvis Hymon saw his first collegiate action, scoring two points and pulling down two boards.

Ole Miss will return to action Thursday, Nov. 17, as part of the Emerald Coast Classic. The Rebels and Jaguars will tip-off at 7:00 p.m. at the Tad Smith Coliseum.
