Budd Clark led the offense against Central Arkansas with 13 points and a team-high six assists, while adding four rebounds. The game brought Clark past 500 career assists. Ben Henshall also scored 13 points, his first collegiate game in double figures, and Corey Stephenson added 11 points and seven rebounds. Santiago Trouet had eight points, seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks.

Patton Pinkins made seven of nine 3-point attempts in the season’s first two games. The team said his career 3-point percentage of 45.0% (50-for-111) was the best in Ole Miss history, surpassing John Matthews’ 44.3% mark from 1988-91.

Ole Miss had won all 20 previous meetings with Southeastern Louisiana in a series dating to 1956. The teams’ latest meeting was an 88-58 Rebels win on Nov. 3, 2025, their first matchup since 2019. Ole Miss’ largest win in the series was an 80-43 result on Dec. 7, 1987.
