Ole Miss Rebels Set to Face Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions at H.O. Clemmons Arena in Women's Basketball Showdown

As the Ole Miss Rebels gear up to face the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions at H.O. Clemmons Arena, fans are eager for what promises to be an exciting game of women's basketball. The Rebels, coming off a narrow defeat against Southern Miss with a score of 59-61 on December 2nd, are looking to bounce back and assert their dominance on the court.


Southern Miss Golden Eagles VS Ole Miss Rebels

The previous game saw the Rebels put up a strong fight, showcasing their ability to score from various positions with 20 points in the paint and an impressive 19 points off turnovers. Despite shooting only 36 percent from the field and 69 percent from the free-throw line, they managed to keep it close until the final buzzer.


However, one area where Ole Miss needs improvement is their three-point shooting percentage which stood at just under 38 percent in that game. This could be crucial against ARPB who will look to exploit any weaknesses in perimeter defense.


On November 30th against Louisville Cardinals, MISS demonstrated resilience despite falling short by six points (58-64). Their two-point field goal percentage was over half at around 53 percent – showing efficiency inside but again struggling beyond the arc with only nine percent success rate from three-point range.


Against Little Rock Trojans on November 25th, MISS emerged victorious with a scoreline of 58-45. The team's defensive prowess was on full display as they held UALR to just five points in the first quarter and continued that intensity throughout the game. With four blocks and ten assists contributing significantly towards this win, it’s clear that when Ole Miss focuses on defense and teamwork they can control games effectively.


The upcoming match poses an opportunity for MISS to capitalize on their strengths while addressing areas needing improvement such as three-point accuracy and maintaining consistency throughout all quarters of play.


Fans should expect Ole Miss Rebels' aggressive defense which has been instrumental in keeping games within reach even when offensive execution falters occasionally. It will be interesting if they can maintain this intensity against ARPB who will undoubtedly come prepared for battle.


Looking ahead towards December 21st at H.O. Clemmons Arena scheduled for a tip-off time of 7:00 PM local time; fans won't want miss out witnessing whether Ole Miss can harness their defensive solidity while finding rhythm offensively against Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions – promising an engaging contest filled with strategic plays and athletic prowess.
