Before this impressive win, Ole Miss had experienced a mix of fortunes. They celebrated a significant win against the No. 8 ranked Kentucky and faced a tough loss versus No. 15 Oklahoma. On the other hand, Arkansas entered the game on a challenging three-game losing streak, having fallen to Florida, Mississippi State, and Georgia. The Razorbacks narrowly lost their last game against Georgia by just one point, which had fans hoping for a turnaround.

By the end of the first quarter, the Rebels had established a strong lead of 22-11, with Tameiya Sadler lighting up the scoreboard with quick jump shots and showcasing their dominance in the paint.

In the second quarter, Arkansas’s Karly Keats scored four consecutive points early, narrowing the gap to just seven points. However, the Rebels were not to be underestimated! They unleashed a remarkable 23-4 run, leaving the Razorbacks trailing significantly at halftime, 48-23.

In stark contrast, Arkansas faced a tough night, shooting only 33% overall and a dismal 9% (2-for-22) from beyond the arc, contributing to their woes as they slipped further into a 9-18 record overall and 2-10 in the SEC.
Looking Ahead: Upcoming Challenges
