Ole Miss’ defense upped the pressure on Tennessee State from the jump, playing full court press from the first whistle. The Rebels didn’t allow the Lady Tigers to move beyond half court for three consecutive possessions to start the second quarter. The Rebels aggressiveness resulted in 16 first half turnovers, 10 steals and three shot clock violations.
Madison Scott led Ole Miss in scoring with 16 points followed by Kennedy Todd-Williams with 15 and both Sira Thienou and Rhema Collins scored 12 points. Scott also led the team in rebounds needing just one more to record a double-double.
Teamwork makes the dream work 💭

Regardless of the outcome, Ole Miss is in a position to achieve its third season of 10+ wins in the last four years. Kiffin's second Ole Miss team in 2021 was the first 10-win regular season ever. The 2023 team broke the school record for 11 total wins in a season. A potential…
