Ole Miss drops third straight as Tide top the Rebels

The Lady Rebels fell to Alabama at home Sunday, dropping their third straight SEC game 65-57.

Good defense allowed the Tide to gain a lead early in the game, shooting 60 percent from behind the arc the first half, while keeping Ole Miss under 15 percent from the arc lead to a score of 25-19 at the end of the first half. Both teams caused a lot of commotion on the defensive end, forcing double-digit turnovers on both sides in the first half. The Rebels couldn’t seem to find their stride offensively much in the first quarter, but as the defense forced turnovers, more opportunities opened, and eventually Ole Miss started to heat up offensively in the second half.
