NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Chris Manon's 3-pointer with 4:53 left put Vanderbilt ahead to stay as the Commodores beat No. 24 Ole Miss 77-72 Saturday to snap a three-game skid. The Commodores led by as much as 19 and 41-33 at halftime before Ole Miss put Vanderbilt at risk of blowing yet another double-digit lead.

Ole Miss lost its second straight. Malik Dia started his career at Vanderbilt and scored a career-high 22 points for Ole Miss.
