Coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin has built a machine this basketball season.
Now, mind you, it’s not a perfect machine - it has its flaws like outside shooting and free throws. But the defensive machine has been damn near flawless in the last month and a half amid a nine game winning streak and 5-0 start to SEC play.
The Lady Rebels (16-2, 5-0 SEC) battled through a scrappy Georgia (13-6, 2-3 SEC) squad to a 66-58 win at Stegeman Coliseum. It was the second win at Georgia ever, and the first since 2010. More impressive, it pushed the women’s basketball record to 3-0 on the road in the SEC for the longest streak since 1992 - you know, the year Bill Clinton was elected the FIRST time.
