Hold onto your seats, basketball fans, because the Ole Miss Rebels are on fire! In a dominating performance that left no doubt about their prowess, the No. 17 Ole Miss women’s basketball team dismantled Wofford with an impressive 86-52 victory on December 13, 2025. But here’s where it gets even more exciting: Cotie McMahon continued her stellar season, pouring in 24 points, while Latasha Lattimore chipped in with 18 points of her own. McMahon’s consistency is nothing short of remarkable—she’s scored 20 or more points in five of her first 10 games and has hit double figures in every single contest. Talk about a scoring machine!
Both McMahon and Lattimore were double-double machines, each grabbing 11 rebounds, while Sira Thienou led the team with 12 boards. And this is the part most people miss: Ole Miss’s dominance on the glass was a game-changer, out-rebounding Wofford 53-27. The Rebels took control from the opening tip, scoring just 21 seconds into the game on a McMahon layup, and never looked back. They headed into halftime with a comfortable 41-24 lead and never let up.
Wofford, led by Toni Warren’s 15 points and Queen Ikhiuwu’s 14, struggled to find their rhythm, shooting a mere 35% from the field and a dismal 13% from three-point range. Here’s a bold take: Could Wofford’s poor shooting be a sign of deeper issues, or was this just an off night? Let’s discuss in the comments!
For Ole Miss, Christeen Iwuala added 13 points, rounding out a balanced scoring effort. The Rebels’ 9-1 start is their best since the 2021-22 season, when they began 13-1 and marched into the NCAA tournament. Could this be the year they make another run?
Looking ahead, Ole Miss hosts South Carolina State on Sunday, while Wofford travels to face East Carolina on Wednesday. But here’s the real question: Can Ole Miss sustain this momentum, or will they face tougher challenges down the road? What do you think—are the Rebels a legitimate contender this season? Sound off below and let’s keep the conversation going!
