After putting the Gonzaga Bulldogs in an absolute defensive lockdown, the No. 15 Ole Miss Rebels take on Minnesota in yet another NCAA Tourney Round Two thriller.
If they are not already, the Gophers should be seriously concerned because the Rebels are hitting their stride at the perfect time for the Big Dance.
After a program-high 9 blocks against the Zags, and 14 predatory steals, forcing 21 turnovers that entierly dictated the game.
The Rebels' defense remains the biggest threat to any team in the bracket; Minnesota won't be any exception.
Cotie McMahon has been uncontainable for 33 games with her double-digit scores, but it got worse for the Gophers. With Sira Thienou back to set the edge defensively, it's going to be a two-pronged attack for Minnesota’s Sweet 16 chances, which at this point, are looking like a long shot.
That said, undermining the Gophers would be a grave mistake Coach Yo would not make In the home stretch of this tournament run/ The Gophers just levelled Green Bay in a 75-58 lopsided win. The last thing the Rebels would be expecting would be for Minnesota to make it an easy win for them.
