Ole Miss women’s basketball’s game on Sunday was a special one for Madison Scott, as it marked what could be her final time competing against the Rebels’ in-state rival, Mississippi State.
Scott, who has competed in an Ole Miss jersey for her entire five years of collegiate basketball, made sure it was a performance Rebel fans would never forget, notching a career-best 30 points and 11 field goals to lead Ole Miss to a 71-63 win over its bitter foe in Starkville, Miss.
The First Team All-SEC honoree reached 20-plus points for the seventh time of her career and was the first Rebel to drop 30 points this season. The last Ole Miss player to notch 30 points was Marquesha Davis who scored 33 last season against Florida and recently won the WNBA Championship with the New York Liberty.
Along with her impressive night from the field, Scott shot 7-of-8 from the free throw line and made her lone 3-point attempt, showing how versatile she can be in any situation.
With the Rebels and Bulldogs all tied up at 61 in the fourth quarter, Scott proved her veteran status by going a perfect 3-for-3 from the field and scoring eight points to put Ole Miss up for good.
Through six contests in conference play, Scott is averaging 12.8 points, 4.2 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game. The fifth-year senior and the rest of the Rebel squad will look to continue their success into the remainder of conference play and into postseason.
Women's hoops has the midweek off but will return to action Sunday for a key tilt with Texas at 2 p.m. CT at the SJB Pavilion.
