No. 20 Ole Miss Falls Short of Upsetting No. 3 USC In Opener: Rebel Roundup
Your daily briefing on what’s going on with Ole Miss Athletics, including the Rebel men and women basketball teams opening their seasons.
PARIS – Ole Miss women’s basketball nearly pulled off a major upset in it season-opening game against one of the nation’s best players and teams.
However, the No. 20 Rebels couldn’t overcome No. 3 USC and All-American Juju Watkins, falling 68-66 to the Trojans at the Aflac Qui-Play at Adidas Arena in Paris, France.
The Rebels found themselves down 37-26 at halftime but narrowed the gap to 52-45 headed into the fourth quarter. Ole Miss began the final quarter with a 12-4 run and then traded leads with USC until the score was tied at 66-66 with 20 seconds left to play.
However, the Trojans would secure the win with a pair of free throws and leave Paris with a two-point win.
Missed opportunity, grateful for the learning moments, back to chopping wood. #NoCeilings https://t.co/YTsfrZhzF4
