Ole Miss women’s basketball slips by Mississippi State with late 8-0 run
STARKVILLE — The Ole Miss women took Part II of the weekend’s in-state basketball rivalry series against Mississippi State.
After Mississippi State men’s hoops topped the Rebels in overtime on Saturday, the Rebels’ women prevailed Sunday 71-63 at Humphrey Coliseum. Both teams held leads in the fourth quarter, but Ole Miss scored eight unanswered points in three minutes for the win.
Rebels guard/forward Madison Scott led the game with a career-high 30 points, followed by MSU’s Jerkaila Jordan with 19.
It’s the only time Ole Miss (13-5, 4-2 SEC) and Mississippi State (15-5, 2-4) are scheduled to play each other this season.
Mississippi State took control early but Ole Miss had an answer
The Bulldogs forced Ole Miss coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin to take a timeout five minutes into the game when they opened a 14-5 lead. Denim DeShields and Debreasha Powe both nailed 3-pointers that beat the shot clock buzzer. The lead ballooned to 18-8 before Ole Miss shaved the lead down to one at the first quarter’s end.
It was sparked by Scott, who scored five consecutive points in an 11-2 run. MSU made 1-of-6 field goal attempts in the final four minutes. Kennedy Todd-Williams scored the first bucket of the second quarter, which gave Ole Miss its first lead of the game.
Ole Miss allowed just nine points in the second quarter as it took a 34-29 halftime lead. Jordan scored seven of MSU’s nine points in the quarter.
Ole Miss, Mississippi State traded lead back and forth in second half
Ole Miss commanded the early portion of the third quarter, building a 43-37 lead. However, MSU produced a 9-1 run to regain a brief lead.
Scott scored nine more points in the quarter, but Eniya Russell kept the Bulldogs in pace with nine points of her own, including two 3-pointers. Ole Miss took a 53-51 lead into the fourth quarter.
Ole Miss and Mississippi State were tied at 61-61 with five minutes remaining, but the Rebels gained separation on an 8-0 run. Four of the points were scored by Scott, who also blocked a Russell layup with one minute remaining.

Two more Mississippi State players announce decision to enter portal
The exodus of Mississippi State players continued Sunday afternoon with two more players announcing decisions to enter the transfer portal.
Running back Seth Davis and offensive lineman Luke Work have decided to enter the transfer portal. Both made their announcements in social media posts.
“I’m beyond thankful for my time at Mississippi State. These past two years gave me memories, friendships and lessons that I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life,” Work stated. “God gets all the glory. None of this would be possible without Him guiding my path. Thank you to every coach, teammate, staff member and all the amazing people I’ve met along the way. This place truly became family to me. No matter where the road takes me next, I’ll always be proud to say I wore maroon and white.”
Thank you, Mississippi State pic.twitter.com/u55t9dHTYR

Work played in 23 games in his two seasons in Starkville. He was thrust into the starting lineup last season as a true freshman, starting seven games including five at left tackle. This past season Work worked mostly at tackle and guard and played in every game except the first against Southern Miss because of an injury.
Davis began his collegiate career with a solid 2023 season, playing in all 12 games and running 59 times for 356 yards and one touchdown. However, his career was put on hold in that season’s Egg Bowl when he suffered a knee injury that forced him to miss all of the 2024 season.
The Katy, Texas native was able to return to action this season and played in two games. Against Alcorn State, Davis had five carries for 47 yards and one touchdown. He enters the portal with three years of eligibility remaining.
I have decided to enter the transfer portal with 3 years of eligibility.#Godsplan🙏🏾
