The Ole Miss women’s basketball team will continue their play in the Bahamas on Wednesday night as they take the court against No. 17 Utah. The tip is set for 6 p.m. and can be seen on FloHoops.
Ole Miss is off to a 5-0 start after defeating Dayton 63-50 on Monday night in their opener at the Baha Mar Pink Flamingo Championship.
The Rebels were led in scoring by Tyia Singleton with 14 points. Her teammate Marquesha Davis joined Singleton in double figures with 10 points.

Utah enters Wednesday’s matchup 5-0 of the season after defeating Alabama 93-86 in its first game of Baha Mar Pink Flamingo Championship on Monday.
Utah currently sits at No. 17 in the AP Poll and No. 24 in the Coaches Poll. They recently defeated No. 16 Oklahoma in a whopping 124-78 on their home court to advance their ranking.
This will be the Rebels’ first ranked opponent they have faced this season.
