After defeating Gonzaga in the first round of 64 in the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament, the Ole Miss Lady Rebels took on Stanford in a game that many wrote off as a small roadblock and a definite win for the Cardinal.
Stanford had proven to be one of the four best teams in women’s basketball this year, which is why they were awarded a No. 1 seed. However, Ole Miss came into this game knowing they were the underdog, and with all the odds stacked against the Lady Rebels, they rose to the occasion Sunday night, beating Stanford 54-49 and advancing to the Sweet 16 round in the tournament.
