There was one tie at 2-2. Otherwise, Mississippi led all the way until Texas A&M’s 12-0 run in the fourth quarter tied it at 52 with 5 1/2 minutes remaining, the tying bucket coming on a 3-pointer by Janae Kent.
The Aggies finally took the lead for the first time at 57-55 when Williams nailed a 3-pointer with 2:50 remaining and Aicha Coulibaly made it a four-point game when she hit a jumper with 52 seconds to go.
The Rebels’ Kirsten Deans was fouled on a 3-pointer and made all three at the line to get within 59-58 with 43 seconds left.
The Aggies worked the clock down to 16 seconds and Kent missed a 3-pointer. Kennedy Todd-Williams rebounded for Ole Miss but Jada Malone came up with a steal for the Aggies. Williams was fouled and made one free throw for the 60-58 lead with six seconds left and Tameiya Sadler was unable to finish in the lane as time ran out on the Rebels.
