• A 2010 All-SEC selection, point guard Chris Warren (left) enters his senior season ranked 15th in school history with 1,372 career points, third with 239 3-pointers, third with 621 3-point attempts, fifth with 4.0 assists per game, eighth with 324 assists and 10th with a 16.9 scoring average. He needs just 40 treys to break Aaron Harper’s current Rebel record of 278. Warren also enters the 2010-11 season with a 3-pointer made in a school-record 45 straight games, the third-longest streak in SEC history.

• Ole Miss returns six players with starting experience at Ole Miss (Chris Warren - 80 starts, Zach Graham - 42 starts, Terrance Henry - 16 starts, Trevor Gaskins - 9 starts, Reginald Buckner - 8 starts, Will Bogan - 7 starts) and welcomes sophomore transfer Nick Williams, who started 29 games his freshman year at Indiana.

• Senior guard Zach Graham has increased his scoring and rebounding averages in each of his three seasons, recording career highs with 9.2 ppg and 3.1 rpg last year. He is on pace to score 1,000 points as a Rebel. With 23 wins, he will become the winningest player in the program’s 100+ year history.

• Junior forward Terrance Henry closed the 2010 campaign on a strong note, posting 8.2 ppg and 5.1 rpg over the last 13 games.

• After smashing the school record for blocks in a season (64), forward Reginald Buckner was named to the 2010 SEC All- Freshman team.

• Ole Miss lost four starters from last year’s team, including Terrico White (right), who was selected 36th overall by the Detroit Pistons in the 2010 NBA Draft. White was the fourth-highest draft pick in school history and the first Rebel chosen since Justin Reed in 2004.

• DeAundre Cranston and Eniel Polynice both received their undergraduate degrees from Ole Miss in 2010. Cranston signed a contract to play overseas in Uruguay. Polynice declared for the NBA Draft, but with- drew his name and elected to transfer to Seton Hall for his final season. Murphy Holloway transferred to South Carolina.
