The No. 18 Lady Rebels took down in-state rival Mississippi State 93-68 in the Sandy and John Black Pavilion on Sunday, Jan. 11. This game marked the first time since 1997 Ole Miss defeated Mississippi State by 20 or more points.
The game got off to a hot start with the Bulldogs winning the tipoff, Christeen Iwuala stealing the ball and immediately returning it for a layup. This play set the tone for the rest of the game. The Lady Rebels ran a full court press which allowed them to take control of the court on defense.
