Joiner opened the second half with two free throws then added two jumpers, a 3, a dunk and another 3 before his first miss.
Ole Miss shot 11-of-29 from beyond the arc, making the most 3-pointers since sinking 14 against Middle Tennessee in December, 2019.
Deontaye Buskey scored 17, hitting five 3-pointers, to lead the Buccaneers (1-1) and added seven rebounds. Kalib Clinton scored 12 points, Tahlik Chavez and Sean Price added 10 each.
