Ole Miss is looking to put a 58-54 heartbreaking loss to Vanderbilt behind them and bring a five-game losing streak to an end. The Rebels are 14-9 overall and 4-6 inside of Southeastern Conference play.
Senior Tia Faleru has recorded her ninth double-double of the season and 29 career double-double, which ranks sixth all-time at Ole Miss, after a game-high 23 points and 13 rebounds against the Commodores.
Tennessee rolls into Oxford riding a prefect 10-0 record in SEC play and 20-3 over all on the season. The Volunteers have three players scoring in double figures led by 12.7 points per game from Isabelle Harrison.
