Yolett McPhee-McCuin is thrilled to be playing a ranked opponent for the first time this season on Sunday.
The Ole Miss women’s basketball head coach did not care who the opponent is, but it so happens to be their in-state rival No. 14 Mississippi State.
The Rebels (7-1, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) are riding high after Thursday’s win over Auburn, snapping a near tw0-year winless drought in conference play. Their record through their first eight games is also the program’s best start under McCuin, who is in her third year at Ole Miss.
With all the excitement that came following the win, the Rebels have put that game to bed and have since turned their focus to the Bulldogs (7-2, 2-1), who are once again one of the nation’s top teams.
