Henderson drilled another trey two minutes later to tie the game and cap off an 8-2 run. After Murphy Holloway gave Ole Miss the lead with a pair of buckets with less than nine minutes remaining, Henderson extended the Rebels' lead to six with a layup and another three-pointer.
The Rebels' energetic junior guard finished with 19 points on 6-of-21 shooting. Holloway chipped in 10 points and nine rebounds for Ole Miss, which outscored Wisconsin in the second half, 35-21, and held Wisconsin to a 25.4-percent clip from the floor, to win its first tournament game since 2001.
