Ole Miss enters AP women's poll for 1st time in 15 years

Unbeaten on the road this season, Ole Miss entered The Associated Press women's basketball poll for the first time in 15 years on Monday, coming in at No. 24.

The Rebels (17-2) have won their first seven games away from home, including a victory over then-No. 23 Kentucky on Sunday. The last Top 25 ranking for Ole Miss was January 2007.

"Fifteen years is crazy," Mississippi coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin said. "I told them before the Kentucky game that I had been downplaying the whole ranking deal and I apologized to them for that. I didn't think it was fair of me.
