Sunday will mark the biggest game of Coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin’s career at Ole Miss to date, and the opponent will be one of the most talented her team has faced this season.
When the ball tips off at 8:30 CT in Palo Alto, Cali., 8-seed Ole Miss (24-8) will have a chance to advance to the program’s 11th Sweet Sixteen berth if it can overcome 1-seed Stanford (29-5) on its home court. In Coach Yo’s fifth season, it’s a huge moment to push the program to the next level of national relevancy.
For Cardinal coach Tara VanDerveer, this is old hat, ho-hum another tournament in her 37th season at Stanford compiling over 1,000 wins.
