Cotie McMahon Named SEC Player of the Week
1/27/2026 | Women's Basketball
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – For the second time in three weeks, Cotie McMahon was named the Co-SEC Player of the Week, the conference announced Tuesday.
This marks McMahon's ninth weekly conference honor and her second in the SEC. She was a six-time Big Ten Freshman of the Week, won Big Ten Player of the Week on Jan. 22, 2024 and was recognized as the SEC Player of the Week on Jan. 13, 2026.
On the season, McMahon has scored in double figures in all but one game and has surpassed the 20-point mark 11 times. Last week, she led the SEC and ranked fourth nationally in points per game, while also pacing the conference in rebounds per contest. When McMahon is at her best, the Rebels thrive as well. In all four games in which she has recorded a double-double this season, another Rebel has done the same.
That impact was on full display against Missouri, as McMahon turned in her most complete performance of the year. She finished with a 33-point, 12-rebound double-double, tying her career high in scoring. She also added five assists and two blocks in the 82-61 win.
McMahon took control in the second half, scoring 24 of her 33 points in the final two quarters while shooting 9-for-13 from the field. She became the first Rebel to score 30 points this season and the first since Madison Scott, while her point total marked the most by an Ole Miss player since Marquesha Davis' 33-point outing against Florida on March 8, 2024.
Alongside McMahon, Georgia's Dani Carnegie was named Co-SEC Player of the week, while Oklahoma's Aaliyah Chavez earned SEC Freshman of the Week honors.
