OXFORD, Miss. (AP) -- Chris Warren had 15 points and No. 22 Mississippi ended Devan Downey's hot streak to beat South Carolina 66-57 on Wednesday night.
Downey came in averaging more than 32 points per game and hadn't scored fewer than 29 in three Southeastern Conference games, but he was ineffective against the Rebels' backcourt. He did score 25 points, but seven came in the final 2 minutes with the game out of reach.
South Carolina native Murphy Holloway added 14 points and 12 rebounds for the Rebels (14-4, 2-2 SEC), who held the Gamecocks (11-7, 2-2) to 32.1 percent shooting from the field and outscored them 36-20 in the paint.
Terrico White had 11 points for Ole Miss and Eniel Polynice had 10, including four as the Rebels put together a late game-clinching 11-3 run.
