On Sunday, Feb. 4, Coach Yo and the Lady Rebels traveled into enemy territory — Columbia, S.C. — to take on the number one college women’s basketball team in the country. The South Carolina Gamecocks have bullied teams all season, and proved to be Ole Miss’ toughest competition yet.
In the heat of their three-game win streak, the Lady Rebels caught on fire during conference play. Ole Miss was evenly matched with South Carolina in the first half, the Rebels effectively utilizing their speed, length and defense as they have all season.
Sadly, whatever strengths the Rebels had, the Gamecocks had them in spades.
