The Lady Eagles’ run through the Women’s National Invitation Tournament finished fast with a first round contest against Little Rock, in which Southern Miss was put away late due to an offense that just could not produce, 72-62.
“I thought we played tired all night, honestly,” said Head Coach Joye Lee-McNelis. “We couldn’t press. We didn’t play with urgency. I thought we played very sluggish.”
Senior Brittanny Dinkins got going early in the game in a sequence where she hit a fadeaway jumper at the free throw line, then hit a deep trey to force a Little Rock timeout.
