Ole Miss women’s basketball freshman Promise Taylor was tabbed to the SEC All-Freshman team, announced by the conference office on Tuesday.
Taylor has been a real force down low for the Rebels in 2017-18. The Issaquah Washington native is averaging 8.7 points, 6.1 rebounds and a most-impressive 2.7 blocks each time she takes the court. Her shot blocking proficiency has immediately put her on the map as one of the top shot blockers nationally as just a freshman, ranking 14th in the NCAA at a new Ole Miss single-season record of 78 blocks.
Taylor is the 11th Rebel to ever earn the distinction and the first since A’Queen Hayes in 2014-15.
The Rebels will take to the court in the SEC Women’s Basketball Tournament as the 14th-seed and will face the 11th-seed Florida Gators on Wednesday. Tipoff is slated for 2 p.m. on the SEC Network.
