Lady Rebels’ historic season comes to an end at the hands of the Louisville Lady Cardinals

Ole Miss took on the red-hot Louisville Cardinals in a Sweet 16 matchup to determine who would face the No. 2 seed Iowa Hawkeyes. Both teams came into this game and tournament under-seeded, so they each had a lot to prove.

This game was packed full of great basketball, but when the clock hit triple zeros, it was Louisville who punched its ticket to the Elite 8.

Aside from the very beginning of the game, Louisville held between a three and eight-point lead for most of the game. The Lady Rebels could not come up with enough stops on defense to feel any sort of comfort on offense; Ole Miss was forced to play from behind in this game, which was never the case against Gonzaga and Stanford earlier in the tournament.
