Austin carries the Lady Rebels to a win over No. 23 Kentucky

The Ole Miss Women’s Basketball team won their fourth straight SEC game against No. 23 Kentucky Wildcats 63-54 in Lexington, Kentucky, on Jan. 23. With the win over a Top-25 team, the Rebels should expect to see themselves ranked in the next AP Poll.

The matchup of the game was between Ole Miss’s Shakira Austin and Kentucky’s Rhyne Howard. The two battled with each other and put on quite the show, scoring nearly half of the game’s total points by themselves.

With WNBA scouts in attendance, both star players scored 24 points. Austin added eight rebounds while Howard was able to come down with 10.
