Clash at The Pavilion: Ole Miss Rebels Host Florida Gators in Women's Basketball Showdown

As the Ole Miss Rebels gear up to host the Florida Gators at The Pavilion at Ole Miss, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be a riveting encounter in women's basketball. With a scheduled tip-off on February 5th, the Rebels have an opportunity to capitalize on their home-court advantage and deliver a performance that could resonate throughout the season.


Ole Miss Rebels VS Florida Gators

The recent form of the University of Mississippi's team has been a mixed bag, with their last game against the Tennessee Lady Volunteers on February 2nd ending in a 51-65 defeat. Despite this setback, there were positive takeaways; notably, their resilience in scoring 17 points in the final quarter and securing 40 rebounds over the course of the game. However, they struggled from beyond the arc with only an 11 percent three-point shooting rate and will need to address this area before facing Florida.


In contrast, when looking back at their January 29th overtime victory against Arkansas Razorbacks with a scoreline of 76-73, it is evident that OMR can dig deep when required. Their ability to outscore Arkansas by seven points during overtime showcased both physical endurance and mental fortitude. Moreover, they dominated inside by scoring an impressive 56 points in paint.


OMR's home performance against Mississippi State Lady Bulldogs on January 27th was particularly noteworthy as well – notching up a convincing win with a score of 78-63. This display highlighted their offensive prowess within The Pavilion’s confines where they shot nearly half of their two-point attempts successfully.


The upcoming game presents OMR with another chance to harness this offensive momentum while tightening up defensively – especially from long range where Florida Gators might look to exploit any weaknesses.


For fans eager to support OMR as they face off against FLA, mark your calendars for February 5th at The Pavilion at Ole Miss. Tip-off is set for an exciting evening start time under Oxford’s bright lights. While no broadcast networks have been announced yet for live coverage, dedicated followers should keep an eye out for streaming options or local broadcasts closer to game day.
