Where Ole Miss women’s basketball stands in updated NCAA tournament bracket predictions
OXFORD — Ole Miss women's basketball took down Tennessee for the first time in seven years on Sunday.
Coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin has the Rebels (15-5, 5-2 SEC) rolling. They've won three straight and have scored 80 points in back-to-back SEC games for the first time since January 2022.
That has Ole Miss sitting second in the SEC, having surpassed LSU after Mississippi State upset Kim Mulkey's Tigers on Monday. But the metrics aren't as high on the Rebels as you might think for a team in that position.
Ole Miss ranked 52nd in the NET as of Tuesday afternoon. Its next game is at Vanderbilt (17-4, 4-3) on Thursday (6:30 p.m., SEC Network+). So where does that leave the Rebels in the NCAA Tournament projections?
Ole Miss women's basketball bracketology: Where Charlie Creme projects Coach Yo's Rebels
ESPN bracketologist Charlie Creme has rewarded the Rebels for their three-game winning streak by bumping them up to a No. 7 seed.
Creme has them heading to Boulder for a regional hosted by No. 2 seed Colorado, where Ole Miss would take on No. 10 seed Iowa State (12-7) to start their NCAA Tournament journey. The Cyclones and Rebels don't share any common opponents yet.
The winner of that game would move on to play either Colorado or No. 15 seed Jackson State in Creme's projection.
