Ole Miss Women’s Basketball to Host Texas A&M in Regular Season Finale

Ole Miss women’s basketball is set to host Texas A&M on Sunday in its regular season finale. Tipoff at the SJB Pavilion in Oxford is scheduled for 2 p.m. CT, with coverage available on SEC Network+.

The Rebels, ranked No. 19/20, hold a 21-9 overall record and are 8-7 in Southeastern Conference play. Head coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin is in her eighth season at Ole Miss, with a career record of 146-104. Texas A&M, coached by Joni Taylor in her fifth season, enters the game at 13-11 overall and 6-9 in SEC action.

This matchup marks the 19th meeting between the two programs. Texas A&M leads the series 12-6, with Ole Miss winning four of the last six meetings, including a 57-38 victory in January 2023. That game was notable for Ole Miss allowing only 38 points, the fewest by the Rebels against an SEC opponent in program history.

Ole Miss is aiming to rebound after dropping its previous two games to Texas A&M. The Rebels last defeated the Aggies in the 2023 SEC Tournament first round, led by 23 points from Angel Baker and 16 from Madison Scott, who also grabbed a team-high eight rebounds.

Texas A&M has been led by Ny’Ceara Pryor, who averages 15.9 points per game and is among the SEC leaders in assists and steals. The team is currently riding a four-game winning streak, including an upset of No. 21 Tennessee, which was its first ranked road win since 2021.

Ole Miss, ranked No. 19/20, will honor its seniors on Senior Day. The team features standout players like Cotie McMahon, who is approaching 600 points for the season, and Latasha Lattimore, who is third in the SEC with 66 blocks this season. The Rebels aim to finish strong in the conference and prepare for postseason tournaments.
