Backing up their No. 6 ranking, the Mississippi State Bulldogs proved to be too much too handle for Ole Miss Thursday night, downing the Rebels 80-66.
While the Bulldogs continue their quest for a championship, Ole Miss head coach Yolette McPhee-McCuin is working to change the culture inside the Rebels’ program after winning just one game in the SEC last year. Upsetting Mississippi State would have been a huge achievement, but it was not a realistic expectation coming into the game.
However, the Rebels did take some big strides in their performance after an 80-49 drubbing in January suffered at the hands of the Bulldogs.
