Ole Miss got off to a fast start, jumping to a 9-1 lead in the first three minutes and then took advantage of 14 Auburn first half turnovers to stretch the lead to 12 at halftime.
The Tigers scored the first 8 points after intermission and cut the lead to 4 with 18:35 to play on a 3-pointer by Barrett. But that was as close as the Tigers could get to the Rebels.
Sanders came right back with a 3-pointer of his own and Ole Miss took control, stretching the lead back to 10 in the first five minutes of the second half.
Auburn cut the lead to 12 with 6:49 on a jumper and free throw shot by Robertson, but the Tigers did not score in the final five minutes and Ole Miss stretched it's lead to the final 23-point margin.
