In this story:


The Ole Miss Rebels will square off against the No. 1 seeded UCLA Bruins on Friday night in Spokane (Wash.) with a spot in the NCAA Tournament's Elite Eight on the line.

Yolett McPhee-McCuin's Rebels will take on one of America's top talents in Bruins forward Lauren Betts in Friday's Sweet 16 clash with all eyes on the impressive post presence.

"Lauren Betts is a great player, UCLA is a great team, so it will definitely be a challenge. But like I said, we've been battle-tested and put in positions all season long," Rebels forward Madison Scott said. "Our last game, we played a very physical post against Baylor and also we play in the SEC, so we say big, tough posts every night. You get what I'm saying?

"So it will definitely be a challenge, but God has prepared us, our coaches have prepared us. You know, we're prepared. So we're ready. So, that's it."

Now, all focus is on the Rebels' Sweet 16 clash against the No. 1 overall seed in UCLA on Friday night with a berth to the Elite Eight on the line.
