MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – No. 19/20 Ole Miss women’s basketball fell short in its Round of 32 matchup against No.
18/19 Minnesota, 65-63, Sunday afternoon in Minneapolis. The Rebels (24-12, 8-8 SEC) fell in dramatic fashion as the Golden Gophers (24-8, 13-5 Big Ten) made a last-second fadeaway jumper from the elbow as time expired. Cotie McMahon’s historic season at Ole Miss ended with her reaching 703 points on the year.
Against the Gophers, she scored 15 points and surpassed Ole Miss legend Peggie Gillom for the fourth-most points by a Rebel in a single season. She’s the first Rebel to break the top four in that category since 1985-86, when Jennifer Gillom set the program record with 742 points that season. Sira Thienou was Ole Miss’ leading scorer with 18 points.
