A few more made shots and it would have been dubbed the Cameron Brink stomach bug game, featuring a gif of her eating a snack pouch on the bench. Instead, it will go down in NCAA women's basketball history for other ill reasons.
Mississippi forward Madison Scott celebrates with Mississippi guard Angel Baker after winning against Stanford in the second-round college basketball game in the women's NCAA Tournament, Sunday, March 19, 2023, in Stanford, Calif. A few more made shots and it would have been dubbed the Cameron Brink stomach bug game, featuring a gif of her eating a snack pouch on the bench. Instead, it will go down in NCAA women’s basketball history for other ill reasons.
“We can’t be soft,” said Brink, who was on the 2021 championship team as a freshman. “We have to always play with a chip on our shoulders, and just be gritty. I feel like we were lacking some of that this year, so [there’s] always room to improve.” Ole Miss made itself comfortable in Stanford’s house from the first tip and never trailed, snapping Stanford’s 21-game winning streak at Maples Pavillion. It ended the Cardinal’s streak of Sweet 16s dating back to 2007, third-longest in history behind UConn and Tennessee. Coincidentally, it was the last time Ole Miss made it that far.
“Honestly, when I realized that we had to get a stop to win the game, I had far more peace than having to score on the other end to win the game because that’s who we are,” McPhee-McCuin said. “We have won tons of games by having to get a stop, and our team just felt like we could do it.” Ole Miss’ pace and movement contributed to a 33% outing for Stanford’s offense, also second-worst this season. Part of that was missed layups and easy shots that normally go. And the Cardinal hit a season-low two 3-pointers, down from their average of nearly seven a game. The 49 total points were second to only 46 in the loss to USC, and a deep dip from the 76.1 they averaged.
