TIP OFF • Ole Miss continues its two-game SEC road swing when the Rebels travel to Auburn to face the Tigers Saturday. Ole Miss has won 10 of the last 12 meetings against the Tigers, including an 80-63 victory earlier this season. • Senior G Stefan Moody leads the SEC, and ranks eighth nationally, in scoring at 22.8 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 22.9 ppg. • Senior F Tomasz Gielo, who was averaging 5.3 ppg and shooting 21.8% from the field over the 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 and added 15 points and 8 rebounds at Texas A&M. He is averaging 16.4 ppg and shooting 51.7% (15 of 29) 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 208-124 in 10 seasons in Oxford and 229-137 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 a coach in his first 10 years in the SEC 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.
