Moody, Moody, Moody.
Stefan Moody raced across the court with his red-streaked dreadlocks trailing behind him. He pushed past screens and dodged defenders, sprinting as fast as he could toward the 3-point line.

Moody put Ole Miss on his back and carried it to victory as the Rebels swept Mississippi State for the first time since 1998. Moody hit eight 3-pointers (the most by an SEC player this year) and scored 29 points to lift Ole Miss to 18-8 (9-4 SEC).
The win keeps Ole Miss on a path that could lead to its 2nd NCAA Tournament berth in three seasons.
The Rebels host Tennessee on Saturday (6:30 p.m., ESPNU).
