Whatever took place against Kentucky on Monday carried over to Thursday in Fayetteville for the Ole Miss women’s basketball team.

While the Rebels needed a strong fourth quarter to knock off the No. 8 Wildcats it was a different story against the Razorbacks, beating them by 39 points in a 89-50 victory.

There was not a lot that went wrong for Ole Miss (17-7, 8-4 Southeastern Conference) as it picked up its second straight win and second of what is a three-game week.

Four players scored in double figures with Tameiya Sadler scoring a team-high 17 points followed by 15 points from KK Deans. Kennedy Todd-Williams and Madison Scott finished with 10 points each.

“Just taking open shots. Shots that I knew I could make,” Sadler said. “Credit to my teammates for being able to set me up on different shots like catch-and-shoot threes. Once I saw a couple go down I just gained more confidence.”

The Rebels shot just under 48 percent from three-point range (10-21) and 49 percent from the floor (37-75) with the help of 22 assists.

Defensively, Ole Miss caused 10 Arkansas turnovers and scored 17 points off of them

Ole Miss head coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin emptied the bench in the second half after the Rebels took a 25-point lead into halftime and only expanded in the second half.

There were 14 players that took the floor which spread out the minutes for the starters with a third game of the week coming up on Sunday.

“Rest is essential for us right now just because this is a three-game week,” McCuin said. “We’re getting ready to play a team that’s going to push us from a pace standpoint on Sunday. A lot of people like to limit, kind of shorten their rotations around this time and I just kind of a different perspective. I want to play as many people as I can.

The Rebels wrap up the busy week in Knoxville where they will play No. 15 Tennessee at 11 a.m. CT on SEC Network.
