LAST MEETING
Mississippi College - The Cotton Blossoms came out of the last meeting over the Choctaws with a 62-41 win on November 12, 2019. The game was tight early with both the Blossoms and the Choctaws finishing the first quarter tied, 17-17. In the second quarter, UAM turned things around and never looked back. After MC took a two-point lead to start the second, Jaida Muhammad drained a three to take a one-point advantage. The Choctaws answered with a two, and it was Muhammad again who splashed one from deep to take a two-point lead. Mississippi College kept it tight until the final few minutes of the half. Muhammad hit a free throw with under five minutes remaining, and Kayla Bradley followed that up with a basket of her own. To make it a nine-point lead, Muhammad hit a jumper with two and a half left in the period. To conclude the run, Dezirae King got in on the action, getting a basket in the paint. The Blossoms took an 11-point lead into halftime, 35-24. UAM maintained its offensive attack in the third quarter, increasing the lead to 14 points, largely due to Tidwell, who scored eight of her 12 points in the period. The Blossoms continued to push their lead in the final quarter, increasing it to 23 points. The scoring was spread around through several UAM players, with baskets coming from Hicks, Lynah Bontiff, and Kyiah Julian. UAM would go on to win the game, 62-41. Mekaylan Hicks led the way for UAM in scoring, tallying 16 points. She also was 7-for-8 from the floor, had seven rebounds, and three steals. UAM forced 25 turnovers altogether.
