The Ole Miss women will not allow their season to end and are making history in the process.
Withstanding a second-half rally by Colorado, the Rebels held on to defeat the Buffaloes 65-56 in the Regional Final of the Memphis bracket in the WNIT at Collierville High School on Monday. The win gives Ole Miss (14-11) the program’s first berth to a Final Four in either the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament or the WNIT.
Falling back on previous experience in games where they fell just short or gave up a late lead, the Rebels were able to come up with key defensive stops against Colorado and proved they could win in big moments.
