Nothing comes easy, including winning a conference basketball game for the first time in nearly two years.
Moments after the final buzzer sounded and the scoreboard showed the Ole Miss women knocked off Auburn, 62-58, for their first Southeastern Conference win since Valentine’s Day 2019, the players were still in disbelief.
The Rebels secured their first SEC win of the season, snapping a string of 23 straight conference losses including two SEC Tournament games.
“When we won they knew they didn’t play their best and so they almost had the nerve to put their head down,” said Ole Miss coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin.
