The Ole Miss Rebels are coming off a difficult loss to the Oklahoma Sooners last week, and they will try to return to the win column on Monday night against another nationally-ranked opponent as they play host to the No. 8 Kentucky Wildcats at the SJB Pavilion in Oxford.

Despite the significant jump, the Rebels are still ranked four spots behind the Kentucky Wildcats. Ole Miss defeated Kentucky by 14 last Tuesday at the Pavilion and then won on the road against LSU on Saturday. Kentucky, however, lost to the Rebels and followed it up with a home win against South Carolina, the only winless team in the SEC.

Ole Miss took an early 6-4 lead in the first quarter, but Kentucky held the lead after that up until the end of the third quarter. The Rebels knocked down their first three-pointer of the night to take the 48-47 lead.

No. 8 Kentucky women’s basketball could not defend the defensive glass in its 66-57 loss to Ole Miss in Oxford on Monday night. The Rebels grabbed 27 offensive rebounds alone, while the Wildcats grabbed 33 boards overall.

Madison Scott discusses what Ole Miss means to her and how the Rebels were able to be aggressive throughout the game following her 22-point performance.
