"Ole Miss guard Marshall Henderson made an impression that few who attended last year’s Tennessee-Ole Miss game in Knoxville could forget.Henderson let shot after shot fly as the Rebels ran away with a convincing 92-74 win – one of the worst home losses for the Vols in recent history.He attempted 18 total shots, 12 3-pointers and made his way to the free-throw line 14 times. In the closing minutes with the game already well in hand, Henderson kept shooting, kept prancing around the court and pointing to the crowd and kept talking. With his point total in the 20s, he screamed that he would get 30. He finished with 32."
