Women's Bracketology: Ole Miss Projected to Face Ivy League School in NCAA Tournament
The Ole Miss Rebels may not take the floor on Sunday, but it still provides an opportunity to see how Coach Yo's women stand in the latest NCAA Tournament projections.
According to Charlie Creme's latest women's bracketology update, Ole Miss is currently projected to be an eight-seed in the women's NCAA Tournament, matched up with nine-seed Princeton in the Portland 4 portion of the bracket.

Princeton's women have put up an impressive 2023-24 campaign thus far, currently holding an 18-3 overall record and a perfect 8-0 within the Ivy League. The three losses have come against nationally-ranked teams in UCLA and Indiana as well as a close road loss to Rhode Island.
By comparison, Ole Miss (16-7, 6-4 SEC) has dropped back-to-back games on the hardwood, most recently at the hands of Texas A&M by a final score of 72-53 at home. Prior to that loss, it fell to No. 1 South Carolina in a blowout in Columbia.
The Rebels will look to put an end to this short losing streak when they travel to face the Florida Gators on Thursday night. Tip-off in Gainesville is set for 5 p.m. CT, and the game will be televised on SEC Network+.
