11/21/2023 | Women's Basketball
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Following a big-time performance at the Battle4Atlantis this past week, Madison Scott has been honored for her outstanding play as the SEC Co-Player of the Week, the conference announced on Tuesday.
Madison Scott posted back-to-back double-doubles at the Battle4Atlantis to move to 24 in her career, now sitting ninth overall in Ole Miss history. Against Howard, Scott's 21 points against the Bison tied a career best and her 14 rebounds marked a season-high. Her 21 points and 14 rebounds are the most in a single-game by any Rebel this season. Shooting 9-of-10 against the Bison, Scott's field goal percentage of 90% was the highest by a Rebel in any game with five or more attempts since Scott went a perfect 8-of-8 in December of 2021 at Cincinnati.
Recording a double-double the following day against Arizona, Scott earned consecutive double-doubles for the first time since December of 2022. Her efforts on the defensive end allowed Ole Miss to hold Arizona under 50 points, the seventh Power Five opponent the Rebels have held under Scott in during her time in Oxford.
In the championship game against Michigan, Scott scored in double-figures for the third game in a row with 10 points and added seven rebounds. Her efforts awarded her the Battle4Atlantis Tournament Most Valuable Player and All Tournament Team honors.
The accolade is Scott's first SEC Player of the Week honor after being named the SEC Freshman of the Year six times in 2020-21.
The Rebels return to the United States to enjoy a few days off for Thanksgiving prior to welcoming Little Rock to Oxford on Saturday (Nov. 25). Tipoff against the Trojans is set for 3 p.m. CT, streaming on SEC Network +.
