The Ole Miss women’s basketball team lost in the first round of the SEC tournament on Wednesday, falling to the No. 13-seeded Florida Gators with a final score of 64-57 and ending the Rebels’ season.
The team finished the season with six straight losses, bringing the Rebels’ final record to 9-22 (3-14). Their three wins in SEC play came as a surprise to many, but they provide a foundation upon which first year head coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin can build a respectable program.
The No. 12-seeded Rebels underperformed in the SEC tournament opener, falling behind early and failing to catch up despite a comeback attempt in the fourth quarter.
