Towson (1-3) used a 16-2 run at the start of the second half to slice the Rebels’ lead to 50-42 with 14 minutes to play. But behind Moody and Hymon, Mississippi opened things up again and stayed comfortably out front the rest of the way.

Byron Hawkins had a career-best 28 points to lead the Tigers.

Hymon’s point total was also his career high showing at Ole Miss.
