TIP OFF • Ole Miss hits the road Tuesday to face the Texas A&M Aggies in College Station. The Rebels are 2-3 all time against the Aggies, but took last year’s meeting 69-59 in Oxford. • Senior G Stefan Moody leads the SEC, and ranks eighth nationally, in scoring at 23.0 ppg this year. He had his 20-plus point per game scoring streak snapped at 14 games at Kansas State, which tied him for the third longest streak in school history. Moody has broken the 30-point mark three times this season and had his 37-straight games with a 3-pointer streak snapped against Arkansas. It was the fourth-longest streak in school history and the 12th-best streak in SEC history. He also leads league in the scoring in SEC play at 23.5 ppg. • Senior F Tomasz Gielo, who was averaging 5.3 ppg and shooting 21.8% from the field over his last seven games before the Mizzou game, knocked down 6 of 8 shots, including 4 of 6 from 3, and scored 16 points in the Rebels’ road win over the Tigers. Gielo followed that performance up with 16 points and 4 boards off the bench to help Ole Miss knock off Vanderbilt and added 20 points and 8 rebound at Florida. He scored 15 points and grabbed 5 boards in the Rebels’ win over Arkansas. He is averaging 16.8 ppg and shooting 52.2% (12 of 23) from 3 over his last four games. • Head coach Andy Kennedy picked up 200th career victory as the Ole Miss head man versus Louisiana Tech earlier this season. The all-time winningest coach in school history, Kennedy is 208-123 in 10 seasons in Oxford and 229-136 in 11 years as a head coach. He is the 20th coach in SEC history to win 200 games at one school and the Arkansas win tied him for the fourth-most wins by an SEC in his first 10 years in the league at one school. • With 24 points against South Carolina, senior G Stefan Moody became the 37th player in school history to reach the 1,000-point mark in his career. Moody is the fifth-fast player in school history to reach 1,000 career points (52 games) and ranks ninth in Ole Miss history with a 19.2 ppg career scoring average.
