Raining 3s: LSU cruises past Lady Rebs

The Lady Tigers (16-9 overall, 6-5 Southeastern Conference) held a 42-26 lead at halftime and never trailed. (February 7, 2011, Page 3B)

Ole Miss women head to The Plains

Winter weather may have forced Ole Miss to skip its tournament in New Jersey last month, but with remnants of the recent southern blizzard disappearing the Lady Rebels hoops squad will head east today to continue their Southeastern Conference schedule with a game at Auburn before returning home to host South Carolina on Sunday.

After surging late in the game to top Vanderbilt in its SEC opener, the Rebels stumbled at No. 5 Tennessee last week, dropping a 86-46 contest to the Lady Vols on Jan. 9.

Tonight, Ole Miss (8-6 overall, 1-1 SEC) will face an Auburn Tigers squad (9-7, 2-1) that is coming off of a 73-56 victory over Florida and a 67-59 loss to Vanderbilt. (January 13, 2011, Page 7)

Rebels overcome early woes, down VU

The first half of Sunday’s game between the Ole Miss women and Vanderbilt had all the makings of a letdown reminiscent of the Lady Rebels’ lopsided loss to Miami (Fla.) in mid-December, where 29 turnovers led to 33 points for the Lady Canes.

On Sunday, 14 turnovers led to 15 points for Vanderbilt and by halftime, the Lady Rebels trailed by 16 points.

Following a spirited halftime speech by head coach Renee Ladner, however, the Lady Rebels flipped the switch and an 11-4 run eventually led to a 72-67 victory for Ole Miss in its Southeastern Conference opener at the C.M. “Tad” Smith Coliseum. (January 3, 2011, Page 7)

Lady Rebels’ trip to NJ grounded

The Ole Miss women’s basketball team was supposed to be participating in the St. Peters’ Holiday Classic basketball tournament today and tomorrow in Jersey City, N.J.

Instead, because of winter weather travel mishaps involving the Northeast that are being felt by more than just the Ole Miss basketball program, the Lady Rebels will put their new Basketball Practice Facility to good use and prepare for their Southeastern Conference Championship home opener on Sunday against Vanderbilt.

Originally scheduled to leave out of Memphis for Jersey City on Monday evening, the trip was officially nixed Tuesday just before 10 a.m. (December 29, 2010, Page 6)
