SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Mackenzie Hare’s 3-pointer forced Ole Miss head coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin to call a full timeout with 6:24 left in No. 10 seed Marquette’s first-round matchup against the seventh-seeded Rebels in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
The sophomore guard had just cut the Golden Eagles’ deficit to five midway through the most important fourth quarter of the season, with Marquette looking for its first tournament win under head coach Megan Duffy.
After the break, Marquette scored only five points in the waning minutes of the game.
