Can Ole Miss prove voters wrong against No. 8 Kentucky?
Ole Miss women’s basketball didn’t get any good news Monday morning, but has a chance to end the day on a much higher note.
The Ole Miss women’s basketball team fell further away from rejoining the top 25 with the latest version of the AP Top 25 Women’s College Basketball Poll.
The Rebels received only four votes, which seven votes less than they received a week ago. However, the Rebels have a unique opportunity to quickly show the voters the error in their ways.
Ole Miss will host No. 8 Kentucky on Monday night starting at 6 p.m. on ESPN2. It’ll be the Rebels’ third-straight game against ranked opponents. Last week, Ole Miss lost then-No. 15 Oklahoma 66-56 and before that had beaten then-No. 23 Vanderbilt 76-61.
