When the buzzer sounded in Starkville on Sunday evening, the Ole Miss women’s basketball team found themselves once again on the losing end of the scoreboard against No. 14 Mississippi State.
This time, however, the feeling was not the same as it was the last few years. The Rebels got within two points in the final 90 seconds before losing 60-56, the closest margin of defeat in the series for Ole Miss since losing by 20 to the Bulldogs on Jan. 28, 2018.
Mississippi State has won the last 14 games in the series, but Rebels head coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin said she senses her team might be closing the gap between the two programs.
