Caitlin Clark was officially confirmed pregnant after she …………

With a victory over Iowa and Caitlin Clark in the championship game, SEC rival South Carolina completed a flawless season, bringing the college basketball season to an official close.

A greater story this year in college basketball has been women’s basketball, thanks to players like Caitlin Clark and teams like South Carolina. Coach Yo is authoring Ole Miss’s narrative in Oxford and drawing the Rebels into the greater narrative of women’s basketball.

The Rebs advanced to the national championship game for the third straight year, something they haven’t done since the 1994–96 seasons, while Ole Miss missed out on a Sweet Sixteen run for the second year in a row. Those teams were never invited to the Sweet Sixteen.

You might be inclined to call this season a bust when it comes to a second-round departure when it counted most. But context is always important, even when it’s overlooked. Due to KK Deans’ season-ending injury, Ole Miss was a top-4 seed in the SEC Tournament and a 7 seed in the NCAA Tournament without a true point guard.

Coach Yo is a whole brand, and she plays a certain kind of basketball. She has put together a team of players that will both attack and defend the hoop. If successful, it can be disastrous. However, the Rebels’ lack of space is evident when they are unable to connect stops to form a complete.

After losing their lone real point guard on the team and shooting 26.5% from outside the arc and 41.6% from the field, this staff, taken as a whole, did an incredible job of steering the ship. Oxford’s stifling defense will be a mainstay and should result in longer tournament runs in the future.
