Coach “Yo” and the Rebels Rally From Down 19 to Beat Arkansas

FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS – It was a stunner in Fayetteville as the University of Mississippi Rebels Women’s basketball team, led by Bahamian Head Coach Yolett McPhee McCuin, overcame a 19-point deficit to beat the Arkansas Razorbacks 76-73 in overtime.

The Rebels were down 39-20 in the first half, their biggest deficit of the game, but they scratched and clawed to get back in the game, entering the 4th quarter down 9.

They would hold a brief lead in the 4th quarter before Arkansas regained it. Tyia Singleton would make the layup at the end of regulation to force overtime where they would eventually pull away.
