Southern at Mississippi
OXFORD, Miss. (Interstat) — The undefeated Mississippi Rebels look to continue their strong start to the season when they host the winless Southern Lady Jaguars in a nonconference women’s basketball game Wednesday at The Pavilion at Ole Miss.
The Rebels (2-0) have dominated their early schedule, winning both games by an average of 40 points. They are coming off an 84-45 road victory over Alabama A&M on Friday, where Cotie McMahon scored a game-high 20 points. Christeen Iwuala added 15 points in the win.
Mississippi’s offense has been potent, opening the season with an 87-46 rout of Norfolk State.
Southern (0-2) seeks its first win after a challenging opening road trip. The Lady Jaguars fell 85-58 at Iowa State last Wednesday. Zaria Hurston led the team with 14 points and six rebounds in that contest, while Anaja Hall and Jocelyn Tate each added 11 points. Southern also dropped its season opener at Iowa, 86-51.
The game presents a stark contrast in early momentum, with the Rebels’ high-powered offense facing a Southern squad still searching for its footing.
Following this game, Mississippi travels to face Memphis on Nov. 18, while Southern returns home to host Tougaloo on the same date.
