Get ready to witness a dominating performance that left fans in awe! On December 13, 2025, Ole Miss delivered a stunning 86-52 victory over Wofford, showcasing their depth and talent in a game that was never truly in doubt. But here's where it gets even more impressive: Cotie McMahon, the Rebels' standout player, poured in 24 points, while Latasha Lattimore chipped in with 18, proving once again why this dynamic duo is a force to be reckoned with. McMahon's consistency is particularly noteworthy—she's scored 20 or more points in half of her first 10 games this season and has hit double figures in every single contest. And this is the part most people miss: both McMahon and Lattimore were double-doubles machines, each grabbing 11 rebounds, while Sira Thienou led the charge with 12, as Ole Miss dominated the boards 53-27, a stat that highlights their relentless effort on both ends of the court.
The Rebels (9-1) seized control early, taking the lead just 21 seconds into the game on a McMahon layup and never looked back. By halftime, they had built a comfortable 41-24 advantage. Wofford (4-6), despite valiant efforts from Toni Warren (15 points) and Queen Ikhiuwu (14 points), struggled to find their rhythm, shooting a mere 35% from the field and a dismal 13% from three-point range. Christeen Iwuala added 13 points for Ole Miss, further solidifying their offensive firepower.
But here's the controversial part: Is Ole Miss truly a contender this season, or is their success a product of a softer early schedule? With their best start since the 2021-22 season, when they began 13-1 and reached the NCAA tournament, the Rebels are undoubtedly turning heads. However, their upcoming matchups will be the real test of their mettle. Speaking of which, Ole Miss hosts South Carolina State on Sunday, while Wofford visits East Carolina on Wednesday. Will the Rebels continue their winning streak, or will they face a tougher challenge? Only time will tell.
As the season heats up, one thing is clear: Ole Miss is a team to watch. But what do you think? Are they a legitimate threat, or is their success overhyped? Let us know in the comments below!
