Coming off of its first NCAA Tournament appearance in 15 years, Ole Miss women’s basketball continues to generate buzz heading into year five of the Yolett McPhee-McCuin era, announced its 2022-23 non-conference schedule on Friday.
“We are excited about the mix of quality home and away matchups for our fans as part of this year’s non-conference schedule,” said McPhee-McCuin. “Along with two NCAA tournament teams in the Baha Mar Pink Flamingo Championship we are thrilled to have several excellent opportunities to test ourselves before we get into play in the Southeastern Conference.”
Fans will have their first chance to catch the Rebels in action on Oct. 28 in an exhibition matchup against Delta State. Ole Miss officially opens its season at home on Nov. 7 against Kennesaw State and concludes a two game homestand on Nov. 10 against Southeastern Missouri.
The Rebels hit the road for the first time with a trip on Nov. 13 to Little Rock to put their non-conference road winning streak to the test, as Ole Miss has not fallen to a non-conference opponent away from home since 2019. Ole Miss returns to Oxford on Nov. 16 for an in-state matchup against Southern Miss.
The Baha Mar Pink Flamingo Championship awaits Thanksgiving week the Bahamas, with showdowns against Dayton and Utah scheduled for Nov. 21 and 23. The Rebels wrap up the month of November with back-to-back home games against Nov. 28 and 29 against Texas Southern and Alabama A&M.
