Ole Miss still unranked after back-to-back SEC wins

Ole Miss women’s basketball team has beaten its biggest rival for the second time in as many days.

A day after the Rebels beat Mississippi State 71-63 on the Bulldogs’ home court, the Rebels found themselves above the Bulldogs in the latest AP Top 25 rankings.

Neither team was ranked inside the top 25, but Ole Miss received more votes than Mississippi State. The Rebels received the third-most votes with nine (behind Nebraska and Creighton) while the Bulldogs received just one vote.
