NCAA ROUNDUP Ole Miss pulls off first upset Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Mar. 18, 2015 at 2:00 AM By The Associated Press Posted Mar. 18, 2015 at 2:00 AM » Social News DAYTON, Ohio — Ole Miss pulled off the NCAA Tournament's first big comeback. Against the team that's known for the biggest one of all, no less. Stefan Moody scored 26 points and led Mississippi's comeback from a 17-point halftime deficit to a 94-90 victory over BYU on Tuesday night in the First Four. The Rebels (21-12) trailed until Moody led a 15-2 run midway through the second half. He hit a late 3-pointer that helped finish it off. "Welcome to March Madness!" Mississippi coach Andy Kennedy said. It was some way to get it going. Ole Miss goes to Jacksonville, Florida, to play sixth-seeded Xavier on Thursday afternoon in the East Region, a team that Kennedy knows well from his days as a coach at Cincinnati. BYU (25-10) pulled off the biggest comeback in NCAA Tournament history in Dayton three years ago, rallying from a 25-point first-half deficit to a 78-72 win over Iona in the First Four. This time, the Cougars couldn't hold the big lead. "This game will sting for quite a while," coach Dave Rose said. "It was pretty similar to (three) years ago when we were here." Tyler Haws, a senior guard who is BYU's all-time leading scorer, had 33 points but missed a 3-pointer as BYU tried to catch up in the closing seconds. It was the first time this season that the Cougars lost after leading by 17 points. "We did enough offensively to win the game," Haws said. "We found our rhythm in the first half and got it going. It got away from us in the second half. We didn't really have any answers for them defensively." Haws had 19 points in the first half, helping the Cougars pull ahead 49-32. Moody got the Rebels' guard-driven offense going midway through the second half, when three BYU players picked up their fourth fouls and things opened up near the basket. "Definitely a sense of urgency," said Moody, whose 26 points were an Ole Miss NCAA Tournament record. "We could have went in the locker room, sulked about it and come back out, and it would have just got worse." M.J. Rhett added a career-high 20 points for Ole Miss, including a pair of three-point plays and a dunk during the go-ahead run. Chase Fischer put the Cougars ahead 8-0, making a reverse layup and a pair of 3s. Ole Miss missed 15 of its first 19 shots overall as BYU took control. Fischer finished with 23 points, going 6 of 12 from beyond the arc. TIP INS: Ole Miss: The Rebels held down guard Kyle Collinsworth, who set an NCAA record with six triple-doubles this season. Collinsworth didn't score in the first half, missing all four of his shots, and finished with eight points, seven rebounds and 10 assists. BYU: Haws had his fifth 30-point game of the season. He finishes with 2,720 points. "It hurts to end this way," he said. TOURNAMENT TIDBITS: Ole Miss: The Rebels improved to 5-7 in the NCAA Tournament. BYU: The Cougars are 15-32 all-time, including 10-19 in their opening game. HAMPTON 74, MANHATTAN 64 : At Dayton, Ohio, Reginald Johnson scored 15 points and added two late critical defensive plays to lead Hampton to a victory over Manhattan in the First Four. The Pirates (17-17), who have won five in a row to get to .500, advance to meet top-ranked Kentucky (34-0) in Louisville on Thursday. Quinton Chievous added 15 points and 13 rebounds before leaving in the final minutes with an injury. Brian Darden had 13 points, including clinching free throws down the stretch for the Pirates, who got into the big tournament thanks to an unexpected run through the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Tournament. Shane Richards scored 17 points and Emmy Andujar 11 for the Jaspers (19-14), champions of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament.
