Matthew Murrell and Murray each scored twice as the Rebels pushed the lead to 61-47. The Mountaineers got within single digits on George Tinsley's layup with just under two minutes left, but Ole Miss hit eight straight from the line the rest of the way to close out the win.
Murray hit 9 of 15 from the field, hitting 1 of 2 from distance, and was 7 of 8 from the line while distributing six assists to lead Ole Miss.
