Kentucky took an early 16-5 lead, but the Rebels took advantage of freshman center Anthony Davis sitting for much of the first half because of foul trouble.
Ole Miss forward Terrance Henry and Murphy Holloway took the ball inside without the nation’s leading shot blocker looming. Henry, who had 16 of his 18 points in the first half, helped the Rebels (15-11, 5-7) take a 31-29 lead.
But the Wildcats hit three straight 3-pointers to take a 43-35 halftime lead, and they never trailed in the second half.
Doron Lamb had 16 points for Kentucky.

Texas A&M cut the lead to five on a 3-pointer by Elston Turner with 1:22 remaining, and a turnover by Phil Pressey on the next play gave A&M the ball back.
But Denmon hit a 3-pointer to make it 68-60 with 35 seconds left, and his two free throws seconds later sealed the win for Missouri (25-2, 12-2).
