TEAM NOTES
NCAA NET RATINGS RELEASED
The NCAA released its first batch of NET ratings for the 2020-21 season on Jan. 4, with the Rebels appearing in the initial rankings at No. 20. Ole Miss currently sits at No. 51. SEC schools hold an average NET rating of 48.7.
DAUNTING SCHEDULE AHEAD
Ole Miss faces a difficult gauntlet ahead throughout SEC season, holding the NCAA's No. 4 future strength of schedule ranking against SEC schools that hold an average NET rating of 41.4 and a combined record of 95-31 (.754).
SHARING IS CARING
The Ole Miss offense has been highly efficient, and that is due in large part to its ability to share the ball. The Rebels currently lead the SEC and rank 14th nationally with an average of 18.2 assists per game, helped greatly by five games of 20 or more assists. Since 1995, Ole Miss has had a max of six games with 20 assists or more, doing so twice in consecutive seasons in 2008-09 and 2009-10. The Rebels own two of the five best assist outings in the SEC this year, with a 26-assist game vs. Alcorn State and a 25-assist contest vs. McNeese State. The 26 dimes by the Rebel offense vs. Alcorn ranks as the most since 2009. Ole Miss tallied 20 in three consecutive games for the first time since Nov. 13-20, 2009.
Leading that charge is starting point guard Mimi Reid, who leads the conference and ranks 17th nationally at 5.7 assists per game. Compounded with an average of 20.6 turnovers forced on defense against 15.3 Rebel turnovers, Ole Miss currently ranks third in the SEC and sits 39th in the NCAA in assist/turnover ratio at 1.2.
On the season, the Rebels are tallying an assist on 63.3 percent of their made field goals.
Percentage of FG with Assists
Game 1 (McNeese): 25-35 (71.4%)
Game 2 (Kansas): 16-25 (64.0%)
Game 3 (Alcorn): 26-40 (65.0%)
Game 4 (MVSU): 21-33 (63.6%)
Game 5 (Jackson St.): 20-27 (74.1%)
Game 6 (George Mason): 10-of-26 (38.5%)
Game 7 (LSU): 17-of-24 (70.8%)
Game 8 (Auburn): 19-of-22 (86.5%)
Game 9 (at #14 MSU): 5-of-22 (22.7%)
Game 10 (vs. Mizzou): 23-of-29 (79.3%)
Total: 182-of-280 (65.0%)
AIN'T WASTING TIME NO MORE
The new crop of Rebels on the floor for Ole Miss this season has wasted no time in establishing their presence, scoring a combined 78.7 percent of all scoring through nine games this season (611 of 776).
vs. McNeese State: 88 of 99 (88.9 percent)
vs. Kansas: 56 of 70 (80.0 percent)
vs. Alcorn State: 77 of 104 (74.0 percent)
vs. MVSU: 66 of 86 (76.7 percent)
vs. Jackson St.: 65 of 89 (73.0 percent)
at George Mason: 53 of 64 (82.8 percent)
vs. LSU: 51 of 69 (73.9 percent)
vs. Auburn: 43 of 62 (69.4 percent)
at #14 MSU: 38 of 56 (67.9 percent)
vs. Mizzou: 74 of 77 (96.1 percent)
Furthermore, the quartet of Shakira Austin (184 points), Donnetta Johnson (138 points), Madison Scott (83 points) and Snudda Collins (86 points) are together accounting for 63.3 percent of all season scoring this year.
BABY REBELS
With a slew of new faces on the Ole Miss roster, the Rebels now own the 10th- youngest roster in the nation with an average age of 19.67 as of Nov. 25. Furthermore, Ole Miss is one of just three programs nationwide with its entire roster to have two or fewer years of Division I experience at the start of the year (alongside Indiana State and Murray State).
TWO ELITE DEFENSES MEET
The Rebels and Lady Bulldogs enter Sunday's matchup with two of the top defenses in the SEC.
Category Georgia Ole Miss
Scoring Defense 56.7 (1) 57.1 (2)
Scoring Margin +19.9 (3) +20.5 (2)
FG Defense .358 (5) .354 (4)
Steals 10.2 (4) 10.8 (2)
Turnover Margin +3.2 (5) +5.3 (2)
DEFENSE! DEFENSE!
The Rebels have been tough to score on in 2020-21, owning the NCAA's 35th-best scoring defense (57.1 PPG) and 41st-best shooting defense (35.4 percent).
It's been an all-around team effort on the defensive side of the ball, as Ole Miss forcing the NCAA's 32nd-most turnovers per game (20.6) helped by the nation's 29th-most steals (10.8), yielding the NCAA's 28th-best turnover margin in 2020-21 at +5.3 per game.
Against McNeese State, Ole Miss held the Cowgirls to 18 percent from the field, the lowest by a Rebel opponent since 2016, and the 19 steals by the Rebels against MVSU tie for the single-game lead in the SEC this season and are the most by a Rebel squad since 2016. Ole Miss has forced at least 24 turnovers in four games and has forced at least 19 in seven games -- with its most recent high of 29 vs. Jackson State.
That defensive hustle has produced results, holding the first four Rebel opponents to fewer than 60 points for the first time in program history, and notching the fifth-fewest points in program history vs. George Mason (34).
BALANCE IS KEY
Ole Miss' superb early displays of offensive and defensive prowess has helped the Rebels become one of the most balanced teams in the SEC at the moment, ranking near the top in:
• Assists Per Game: 1st (18.2)
• Scoring Defense: 2nd (57.1 PPG)
• Scoring Margin: 2nd (+20.5 PPG)
• Steals Per Game: 2nd (10.8)
• Turnover Margin: 2nd (+5.3)
• Assist/Turnover Ratio: 3rd (1.2)
• FG Defense: 4th (.354)
• FT Percentage: 6th (.704)
ELECTRIC OFFENSE
Ole Miss has been playing with the pedal down since its season began on Nov. 30, riding a solid offense toward a historic start. The Rebels rank in the top-50 of the NCAA in several key offensive categories, including:
• Assists Per Game: 14th (18.2)
• Scoring Margin: 19th (+20.5 PPG)
• FT Attempts: 23rd (226)
• Total Assists: 24th (182)
• FT Made: 25th (159)
• Turnover Margin: 28th (+5.3)
• Assist/Turnover Ratio: 39th (1.2)
• Scoring Offense: 46th (77.6 PPG)
Other impressive offensive notes among other SEC schools this season include:
• Two of top-five single-game assist totals of 26 vs. Alcorn State and 25 vs. McNeese State
• 104 points vs. Alcorn State rank No. 6 this season
• 40 field goals vs. Alcorn State ranks No. 6 this season
• 61.5 shooting percentage vs. Alcorn State No. 4 in the SEC, No. 21 in the NCAA
LEAVIN' EM IN THE DUST
Ole Miss has gotten the upper hand from the jump on the offensive end, including six wire-to-wire wins. On the year, the Rebels have led for 75.9 percent of all game time this season in 405 total minutes played.
2020-21 Lead/Trail
Total Minutes: 405:00
Ole Miss Lead Time: 307:27

Time Tied: 15:42
HISTORIC START
The 2020-21 Rebel squad has gotten off to a spectacular start on both ends of the court, notching the fourth fewest points allowed through nine games in school history (485). Ole Miss scored at least 80 points in four of its first five for the first time since 2006-07 (after scoring 80 or more just twice in the entirety of the 2019-20 season) and has scored 90 or more twice after not doing so in an entire season since 2017-18.
The Rebels have posted two historic win margins as well, with a 56-point win vs. Alcorn State (104-48) and a 55-point win vs. McNeese State (99-44) ranking sixth and seventh in program history -- the largest wins at Ole Miss since 2015. The 104-point outing vs. Alcorn State is the 35th 100-point game in program history and the first by a Rebel squad since 2015.
Furthermore, Ole Miss' 6-0 start marked just the 12th time in 46 years of the program that a Rebel team has started off 6-0 or better -- the best start since the 2008-09 season.

LIGHTS. OUT.
The Rebels simply couldn't miss against Alcorn State on Dec. 8, nearly breaking the school record for single-game shooting percentage. Ole Miss wound up with the second-best mark in school history at 61.5 percent, helped greatly by a 64.7 percent first-half percentage that ranked as the best since 2014 (Jan. 16, vs. Vanderbilt, 68.0), and best in non-conference since 2009 (Dec. 20, vs. Winston-Salem State, 65.6). On the season, Ole Miss is shooting an SEC No. 6 ranked 45.5 percent from the field.
Single-Game FG Shooting, All-Time
1. vs. New Orleans (2004-05) - 63.1
2. vs. Alcorn State (2020-21) - 61.5
3. vs. Winston-Salem St. (2009-10) - 60.3
4. vs. Vanderbilt (1985-86) - 60.0
OFF THE LINE
Three-point defense has been a point of emphasis during the Coach Yo era, with 44 of 71 of her opponents being held to five trifectas or fewer.

REBS SNAP STREAK VS. AUBURN
Ole Miss finished its first perfect non-conference season in program history at 6-0 and followed that up by snapping a 22-game SEC regular season losing streak with a 62-58 victory over Auburn on Jan. 7. The win was the first since Feb. 14, 2019 vs. Vanderbilt (65-60), as well as the first wire-to-wire SEC win since Jan. 20, 2019 vs. Florida (76-66).
STEADY STARTING-FIVE FOR THE REBS
After a consistent rotation during her first two years at Ole Miss, Coach Yo has found a solid starting five in Shakira Austin, Mimi Reid, Donnetta Johnson, Taylor Smith and Madison Scott, who started each of the first six games for the Rebels in 2020-21. Ole Miss has since used different lineups vs. LSU, Auburn, No. 14 Mississippi State and Missouri due to COVID-19 roster impacts.
Ole Miss used 20 different starting lineups in 30 games of the 2019-20 season. In Coach Yo's first season with the Rebels, Ole Miss used 17 different starting lineups through 31 total games played. Ole Miss had not used a lineup six times in the same season since a seven-game stretch from Jan. 18 to Feb. 11, 2016.
INDIVIDUAL NOTES
CREAM OF THE CROP
Ole Miss junior Shakira Austin may be in her first season in the SEC, but she already rests in rarified company as one of just six active SEC players with 850 career points and 600 career rebounds, joining Auburn's Unique Thompson (1,320/1,010), Tennessee's Rennia Davis (1,535/816), Texas A&M's Ciera Johnson (1,062/680), Alabama's Jasmine Walker (1,120/670) and LSU's Faustine Aifuwa (877/661). When Austin's 852 career points and 620 rebounds are combined with her 146 career blocks, only Austin, Aifuwa and Johnson sit in the 850/600/100 club.
1,000-POINT WATCH
Shakira Austin is getting close to becoming the 31st Rebel to ever surpass the 1,000-point mark for her career in an Ole Miss jersey, currently sitting at 852 points. Austin tallied up 668 points in two seasons at Maryland, and is currently averaging 18.4 points per game as a Rebel. At that average, Austin should near the 1,000-point threshold around the Feb. 21 contest vs. Texas A&M in Oxford.
VALERIE!
Ole Miss senior Valerie Nesbitt enjoyed time in the national spotlight during the Rebels' near-upset of No. 14 Mississippi State, helping lead a late fourth quarter charge to cut the lead to two points multiple times. Nesbitt scored 10 of her season-high 18 points in the final frame, falling just two points shy of her career best 20 vs. Alcorn State last season. As a junior, Nesbitt led all Rebels in steals (despite playing just 15 games) and became the only Rebel in recorded history to record eight or more steals and assists in a single game after a 12-point, 8-assist, 8-steal and 6-rebound game vs. Louisiana Tech on Nov. 23, 2019.
YOUNG GUNS
Ole Miss had a lot of hype entering 2020-21 due to its SEC top-ranked recruiting class, but the young Rebels have backed that up with superb play. Ole Miss has received SEC Freshman of the Week honors a program record four times this season -- two each for Snudda Collins and Madison Scott -- which puts the 2020-21 squad just two shy of the overall program record of SEC weekly honors set by the 2006-07 Elite Eight team.
SHAKIRA ON A TEAR
Ole Miss junior Shakira Austin has been simply unstoppable in 2020-21, but especially so in her last six games. In that span, Austin is averaging 20.5 points, 9.2 rebounds and is shooting .500 from the field and .333 from beyond the arc across games vs. Jackson State (22 points, 12 rebounds), George Mason (24 points, 7 rebounds), LSU (20 points, 5 rebounds), Auburn (25 points, 10 rebounds), at No. 14 Mississippi State (6 points, 11 rebounds) and vs. Mizzou (career-high 26 points, 10 rebounds). Included in that stretch are five 20-point games and four in a row, making her the first Rebel to do so in four straight since Bianca Thomas did so twice during the 2009-10 season. Austin has also recently found her groove from deep, going 3-of-9 from three after not hitting a trifecta in her career prior to Dec. 19 at George Mason.
BALL DON'T LIE
Ole Miss garnered national attention when it added ESPN's No. 1 rated transfer in April, Shakira Austin of Maryland, and as a Rebel she has not disappointed. Austin leads all Rebels and ranks sixth in the SEC with 18.4 points per game, while also chipping in 7.8 rebounds, 1.6 blocks, 1.5 steals and 1.2 assists per game. The Preseason All-SEC honoree and Lisa Leslie Award Watch List member has especially been a dominant force down low for the Rebels in the early going, recording multiple blocks in five of her 10 games played -- pushing her career total to games with multiple blocks to 31. Austin has also been in double-digits in nine of her of her first 10 games as a Rebel, making her new career total 44. She recently recorded her 18th career double-double vs. Mizzou, and her 1.8 blocks per game currently put her No. 6 in the SEC.
Austin was a significant contributor on two Big Ten championship teams at Maryland in 2019 and 2020, averaging 10.1 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.0 blocks, while shooting 47.2 percent overall in 66 games and 47 starts. Austin shattered the Maryland single-season blocks record her freshman season with 89, earning her a spot on both the Big Ten Defensive Team and All-Freshman team, and followed that up with a slot on the 2020 All-Big Ten Second Team after ranking No. 1 nationally in 2019-20 in advanced analytic On-Court Forced Turnover Rate (via Pivot Analysis). Coming out of Riverdale Baptist, Austin was ESPN's No. 3 overall prospect and a McDonald's All-American.
THE WAIT IS OVER
Redshirt sophomore Donnetta Johnson waited a long time to play basketball again after sitting out 2018-19 due to NCAA transfer rules. She has quickly asserted herself as a dynamic scoring option for the Rebels, ranking second on the team with an average of 13.8 points. Johnson has put on a show on national TV twice this season, dropping a career-high 25 points at No. 14 Mississippi State and 21 vs. Kansas, showcasing her ambidextrous style of shooting in both contests. Johnson followed up her career day vs. MSU with a 20-point performance vs. Missouri, her first consecutive 20-point games in her career. In SEC play, Johnson is averaging 15.5 points per contest and is shooting 47.3 percent from the field.
Johnson played in 27 games and started eight her freshman season at Georgia in 2018-19 before transferring to Ole Miss and sitting out last season. At Georgia, Johnson sparked the Bulldogs in a historic upset over No. 13 Tennessee, which earned her SEC Freshman of the Week honors. Johnson was the No. 28 guard nationally coming out of Baldwin High School in Queens, New York.
OLD GUARD
Redshirt junior Mimi Reid returns as the Rebel with the most experience in 2020-21, with 62 career starts to her name. The Bronx native has finished each of her first two seasons at Ole Miss ranked in the top-10 in the SEC in assists, finishing last season seventh at 4.1 per game, and she has showed no signs of slowing down in 2020-21 as she currently leads the SEC and ranks 17th nationally at 5.7 dimes per contest. Reid has three of the top-five single-game assist totals in the SEC in 2020-21, including a 10-assist performance vs. LSU for her fourth career double-digit assist game.
Reid also flashed some scoring aptitude since late last year, averaging 15.4 points and shooting 43.6 percent overall in a five-game stretch from Feb. 13-27 last year. In all five games Reid scored in double digits (she had never done so in three straight prior to 2019-20) and her offensive prowess was highlighted by a career-high 21 points at Tennessee on Feb. 27, the first time she had broken 20 points in her career. Furthermore, Reid hit 18 straight free throws across four games from Feb. 16-27, ending up with a 19-of-22 (.864) line in that stretch.
NICE SHOOTIN' KID
Two-time SEC Freshman of the Week Snudda Collins has been a serious three-point threat for the Rebels in the early going of her career, leading all SEC freshmen and ranking seventh overall at 2.1 threes per game. Additionally, Collins' three-point percentage of 44.7 ranks seventh among all freshmen in the NCAA this season. Collins has hit three trifectas or more in a game five times this season, highlighted by a five three-pointer outing in her Ole Miss debut vs. McNeese State on Nov. 30. Collins lit the net on fire, leading all scorers with 23 points off the bench with a 5-of-8 clip from beyond the arc to boot. Her 23 points stand as the most ever by a Rebel freshman in a season opener (in available records). Collins was the leader of a bevy of newcomers on the floor vs. the Cowgirls, who combined for 88 of the 99 total points Ole Miss scored -- the most in the Coach Yo era and the most by a Rebel squad in a season opener since 2005. Furthermore, her 23 points were the most by any Rebel in a season opener since 2017.
At Brookhaven High School, Collins helped lead her team to the 5A state title game her senior season to cap off an extraordinary career that saw her average 12.0 points and end as the No. 4 ranked prospect in Mississippi.
BIG FISH
Five-star signee Madison Scott has proved why she was a top-flight recruit coming out of high school, playing a pivotal role for the Rebels through her first games in an Ole Miss jersey. Scott leads all SEC freshmen in both scoring (11.9) and rebounding (7.4). Furthermore, she ranks 14th among all freshmen nationally in rebounding (national leader is BYU's Lauren Gustin at 13.5 per game).
Scott has been named the SEC Freshman of the Week twice already in her young career, winning back-to-back weeks on Dec. 15 and Dec. 23. She recorded her first career double-double vs. Jackson State on Dec. 15 (15 points, 10 rebounds), and notched a career-high 17 points vs. MVSU on Dec. 12. Scott put forth an eye-opening performance on the glass vs. Kansas, nabbing a game and career-high 10 rebounds, five of which came in a crucial spot for the Rebels in a dominant fourth quarter vs. the Jayhawks. There has only been two games this season in which Scott has not hauled in at least seven boards.
Scott, the No. 13 national prospect out of Bishop McNamara in Maryland, is the first McDonald's All-American in Ole Miss women's basketball history (and just the second overall). Scott had a prolific career at Bishop McNamara, which was capped off by a senior season in which she was named the Washington Post Metro Player of the Year after notching a line of 13.3 points, 8.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.8 steals and a .570 shooting percentage her senior season.
SHARPSHOOTER
Sophomore Tiya Douglas came to Ole Miss with a reputation as a sharpshooter from beyond the arc, opening her Rebel career 5-of-5 from distance and currently sitting second on the team with a 10-of-24 clip from three. Douglas has hit multiple threes twice, which is nothing new for her after hitting an NJCAA record 13 threes in a single game her freshman year at Trinity Valley Community College, where she was a 2020 WBCA Honorable Mention All-American.
BUCKETS GALORE!
Five-star signee Jacorriah Bracey was a superb scorer at Thomas E. Edwards High School in Drew, Mississippi, averaging a sublime 31.2 points and 6.3 assists per game throughout her entire career. She finished off her high school career with an out-of-this-world senior year, recording 35.0 points, 11.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists en route to a 3A state runner-up finish and Mississippi Gatorade Player of the Year honors. Bracey eclipsed the double-digit line for the first time in her career vs. Alcorn State, pouring in 12 points off the bench.
