HATTIESBURG, Miss. – The Lady Eagles of Southern Miss women's basketball welcome the Ole Miss Rebels to Reed Green on Tuesday evening for a 6 p.m. matchup.
Southern Miss (3-1) will take on Ole Miss (2-1) on the floor of Reed Green for the first time since 2015, when the Lady Eagles defeated the Rebels 57-38. The pair played last in 2017 in Oxford, where the Lady Eagles fell 59-63. Southern Miss is 2-7 when playing at home against Ole Miss. The Rebels lead the series 18-5, making Tuesday night's game the 24th game overall. The matchup dates back to January 8, 1976 - the first time the Rebels came to Reed Green.
Southern Miss Athletics has some exciting promotions lined up for the Golden Eagle nation, offering free tickets and free popcorn to elementary school students with the presentation of a voucher, as well as 200 gold rally towels for Southern Miss students, and one lucky student will be given the opportunity to win $10,000 with the Series Shootout competition at halftime.Â
The Lady Eagles are coming off a win against ULM, the first time they've won in Fant-Ewing Coliseum in Ruston since Dec. 9, 1981. Joye Lee-McNelis was a freshman at Southern Miss on the basketball team. Amber Landing had a career day against the ULM Warhawks, tying her career-high in points with 12, posting a season-high seven rebounds, and tying her season-high in assists and steals. She had seven blocks, a career high. She also went 6-for-11 from the floor, both career highs for the senior. Through four games, the Lady Eagles are led in points by senior Shonte Hailes with 54, by redshirt sophomore Kelsey Jones in rebounds with 25, and by sophomore Daishai Almond in assists with 11.
The Rebels come to Reed Green Coliseum coming off their first loss of the season - a 64-69 loss at home to the New Orleans Privateers. Through three games, Ole Miss is led by redshirt junior Deja Cage for points with 49, freshman Sarah Dumitrescu for rebounds with 22, and redshirt sophomore Mimi Reid in assists with 15. Their team is made up of four freshmen, four sophomores, four juniors, and one senior. Two of the Rebels are from Mississippi – one from Pearl who attended Pearl High School, and one from Olive Branch who was homeschooled. The 2019-20 season marks the second season for head coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin. She has a record of 11-23 at Ole Miss and a career record of 105-86.Â
This game starts a five-game homestand for the Lady Eagles as they will next host the Lady Eagle Classic with Mississippi Valley, VCU and Omaha. On Dec. 4, the Lady Eagles host Tulane.
