3/16/2025 | Women's Basketball
OXFORD, Miss. – For the fourth season in a row, Ole Miss women's basketball heard its name called on Selection Sunday for yet another trip to the big dance and its 21st NCAA Tournament appearance in program history. The No. 5 Rebels slotted in the Spokane region, begin its tournament journey on Friday, March 21 in a first-round matchup in Waco, Texas, facing off against No. 12 Ball State. If Ole Miss advances to the second round, it will either face off against No. 4 Baylor or No. 13 Grand Canyon.
In the past four seasons, Ole Miss has re-established itself as a national threat in posting four straight 20-win and 10-SEC win seasons. The Rebels also secured two AP top 10 wins for the first time since the 2006-07 season after defeating No. 8 Kentucky and No. 7 LSU in Baton Rouge. In year seven under head coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin, the development of her players has been undeniable with Madison Scott earning All-SEC Second Team honors and Sira Thienou being named to the All-Freshman Team.
Making its 21st NCAA Tournament appearance, Ole Miss boasts 11 Sweet Sixteens and five Elite Eights in its 50 years of women's basketball, as McPhee-McCuin will head to the madness for her fifth time as a head coach.
The Rebels kick off tournament action versus the Cardinals from Ball State on Friday (March 21) with time and television to be announced.
