Ole Miss women’s basketball fell to Auburn at home 64-51, extending their losing streak to three games.
The Rebels started out strong but were derailed by costly turnovers that led to easy Auburn buckets. The Rebels committed 20 turnovers in the game, more than double Auburn’s total of nine. The Rebs also scored just 7 points off turnovers to the Tigers’ 15.
“In order for us to play well against a team like Auburn we have to be able to withstand the pressure for 40 minutes and we just didn’t tonight,” head coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin said.
Auburn’s full-court defense gave Ole Miss fits early, forcing sloppy passes and slowing the Rebels’ offense from the get-go.
