The Ole Miss women’s basketball team fell to 5-4 after an 84-48 loss on Wednesday at Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas.
Taylor Smith led the way with 12 points for the Rebels, who were outscored by at least five points in every quarter. Valerie Nesbitt scored nine points, Jayla Alexander had eight, and Dominique Banks had seven.
“Just disappointed with our lack of fight and commitment to what we wanted to do defensively,” Ole Miss head coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin said in a news release from the school. “I thought that if we didn’t do that, what happened would happen. We can’t score with people that can score, so we have to get stops, and I don’t think we did that tonight.”
The Rebels will face Southeast Missouri State at 5 p.m. on Dec. 14.
