Rebels Open Season with Home Exhibition vs. Clark Atlanta on Nov. 1
OXFORD, Miss. – Ole Miss women's basketball opened the first official team practice of the 2019-20 season at the Tuohy Basketball Center on Wednesday afternoon.
Prior, second-year head coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin gave her thoughts on the season ahead.
ON THE EXCITEMENT OF THE FIRST PRACTICE
"(I'm) just really pumped. The whole midnight madness effect is not here like it used to be. It's still an exciting time because this is a new season that we just got in with the 20 hours, and we are ready to get to work."
ON THE NEW FACES IN THE PROGRAM
"A lot of these young ladies just came here to help do something special. So, you are going to see incredible passion on the floor, incredible energy. They are going to be ready to work every single day. They are going to be pleasant when you see them off the court and fierce on the court."
ON THE RETURNING REBELS AND THE EXPERIENCE GAINED LAST YEAR
"A lot of people got experience. Usually when you have that, your team doesn't get to build a chemistry that you need. But the good thing about it is they got a lot of playing time, so they understand what the SEC is about and so as they prepare now, they not only are preparing for the first couple of games, they are preparing for January."
