The Ole Miss Lady Rebels got a come-from-behind victory over a stubborn Kennesaw State team 72-60 to open the 2022-2023 season in the Sandy and John Black Pavilion on Monday night.
The Rebels had early troubles shooting the ball and ended the first quarter down 18-14.
The second quarter proved to be a huge test of endurance and will for the Rebels. They found themselves down in their biggest deficit of the night, 18-25, but fought back to regain the lead to end the first half up 34-31 and never looked back.
The Rebels lost their home opener a year ago to Belmont before they went on a 13-game win streak, so when Ole Miss was down, there was a fear of another deflating upset loss.
