They last led 64-62 after five straight points by Dia, the last a 3 with 7:36 left. Then they missed nine of 10 shots.

Vanderbilt: The Commodores improved to 13-2 at Memorial Gym where they haven't lost consecutive games this season.

Key moment Vanderbilt took control with an 11-2 spurt started by a pair of free throws from Edwards. Then Manon stole the ball from Pedulla before hitting that go-ahead 3. Manon's emphatic dunk forced Ole Miss to take a timeout followed by a layup by Tyler Tanner.
