1

Ole Miss dropped a 66-56 contest on Sunday (Jan. 26) at the hands of No. 14/15 LSU at Tad Smith Coliseum. The loss dropped the Rebels to 10-11, 1-6 in SEC action and comes on the heels of a thrilling 87-85 overtime victory over in-state rival Mississippi State on Thursday (Jan. 23).

2

Senior guard Valencia McFarland picked up her 400th career assist vs. LSU. McFarland has exactly 400 assists and has recorded over 100 assists in each of her four years. The Edwards, Miss., native becomes one of just seven players in program history with 1,000 points and 400 assists.

3

Diara Moore was back in double figures for the Rebels on Sunday with a team-best 17 points vs. LSU. Moore, who has recorded 12 games in double figures this season, hadn’t reached double figures in the last five games. Moore is Ole Miss’ third-best scorer and averages 11.0 points per game.

4

With her 10 points against LSU, Valencia McFarland recorded her 78th game in double figures. She currently ranks seventh all-time at Ole Miss and if she scores double figures the rest of the way she could move up to No. 6 with 87 career games in double figures
