In desperate need of a win, the Ole Miss Women’s basketball team hoped to find one against struggling Alabama, but the Lady Crimson Tide (11-14; 1-10 SEC) ended up defeating the Lady Rebels (12-13; 2-10 SEC) 52-47.  
“I was very disappointed in how we started the game,” Head Coach Renee Ladner said. “I commend Alabama. They played good basketball.”
It was a tale of two halves for Ole Miss. The Rebels looked sluggish at the beginning, having trouble getting going.

In another matchup featuring Ole Miss and Mississippi State tonight, the No. 21 nationally ranked Ole Miss men’s tennis team will battle the 14th-ranked Bulldogs of Mississippi State in the annual Mississippi Cup. Play from the River Hills Tennis Club in Jackson is scheduled to start at 5 p.m. 

With all the hype and discussion surrounding college football’s National Signing Day, the Ole Miss women’s soccer team had some big recruiting news of its own that went under the radar.  

On National Signing Day last week, Ole Miss signed 10 players from all over the nation. The class, ranked 21st nationally, is one of the best in the history of Ole Miss soccer. It consists of one goalkeeper, four defenders, two midfielders and three forwards.

There’s a new radio station in town covering all things Ole Miss sports in an innovative way that aims to make every aspect of athletics more accessible.
Rebel Sports Radio launched on Nov. 10, 2011, about a week before the Rebels were scheduled to face off against the LSU Tigers. The new station is the first in a growing trend of Internet radio to cover Ole Miss sports exclusively, 24 hours a day.

The local chapter for United Way has already exceeded its goal of $160,000 that began last November.

Donations from faculty and students across campus are a huge reason why the program has been so successful.

Since 1970, the Lafayette County chapter of United Way has found agencies that are serving people then raises money for them to help their cause.

Thanks in large part to on-campus events, United Way raised $10,000 more than it did last year.

The start of last night’s game between the Ole Miss Rebels and 13th-ranked Florida Gators could not have gone any better for the Rebels. After Florida scored the game’s first basket, Ole Miss went on a 20-2 run to take a 16-point lead behind the hot shooting of senior Terrance Henry and junior Nick Williams. After going into halftime with a 10-point deficit, however, the Gators stormed back and outscored the Rebels 36-22 in the second half to escape with a 64-60 win.

Former Unviersity of Mississippi Chancellor Robert Khayat survived a scare over the holiday season.
Khayat was rushed to Baptist Memorial Hospital in Oxford on Dec. 16 for what was initially treated as a life-threatening situation.
Doctors feared it was a heart problem, but then moved their diagnosis to a potential blood clot.
After a few days, doctors began treating Khayat for pneumonia and kept him in the Intensive Care Unit for observation.

For the second time in as many nights, Ole Miss hosted in-state rival Mississippi State at the Tad Smith Coliseum. Thursday night it was women’s turn, but it was a different result as the Lady Bulldogs edged out the Lady Rebels, 51-46.

The loss snaps a two-game winning streak for Ole Miss (12-7, 2-4 SEC), while Mississippi State (12-6, 2-3 SEC) extends their winning streak to four games in the series.

Sparked by the return of junior Murphy Holloway, the Rebels bounced back from a disappointing 81-55 loss at LSU with a 71-63 win over Arkansas Wednesday night. 

Ole Miss improves to 11-5 and 1-1 in Southeastern Conference play, while Arkansas falls to 12-4 and 1-1. The Rebels also remain perfect at home with a 7-0 record at Tad Smith Coliseum.

"This is more of an indication of what the potential of this team is," Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said. "I thought we took advantage of opportunities when we had them."
