Ole Miss Women’s Basketball faced off with the Vanderbilt Commodores Thursday night in the country music capital of the world, Nashville. Unfortunately for the Rebels, they left singing the blues after suffering an 80-68 defeat to the last placed Commodores, who claimed their first SEC victory of the season, 6-13 (1-5).
Ole Miss, 8-12 (2-3), entered the contest with a couple of unappealing streaks lingering over the program. The Rebels tried to end a drought that dates back to 1987, which is the last time Ole Miss came out of Memorial Gymnasium victorious. To put that into perspective, first-year head coach for the Rebels, Yolett McPhee-McCuin, was just four years old the last time Ole Miss left Vanderbilt with a win.
