Vandy fell to unranked Mississippi.

"It doesn't matter to us who steps off that bus to come in here and play," Ole Miss coach Carol Ross said. "Our goal is to defend our homecourt. It was a good step forward ... a great win for us for a lot of reasons."

The Rebs shot 26 free throws compared to only 11 for the Commodores. "We just got killed on free throws," coach Balcomb said.
