Ole Miss Women’s Basketball vs Mississippi State on Thursday, January 23rd, 2014 at the C.M. Tad Smith Coliseum in Oxford, MS.<\/p><\/div>\n

CHARLOTTE \u2013 Head coach Matt Insell along with Ole Miss women\u2019s basketball players Tia Faleru (Ozark, Ala.) and Danielle McCray (West Palm Beach, Fla.) represented the Rebels at the 2015 SEC Tipoff on Tuesday at the SEC Network Studios.<\/p>\n

Coach Insell and the Rebels went through a carwash type day doing interviews with traditional press as well as doing television and radio interviews at the SEC Network Studios. One of the highlights was an on-court demonstration on a court setup outside the studios. Faleru and McCray showed ESPN\u2019s Carolyn Peck and Kara Lawson how they will use their post tandem this season.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the players sat in on a panel with some of the most successful and influential women in basketball learning some lessons about options open to them after basketball both in the world of athletics and outside.<\/p>\n

The 2015 SEC Tipoff was the first season of the carwash style media day and gave the women\u2019s players and coaches ample coverage on the SEC Network as highlights from the day\u2019s events aired on SEC Now.<\/p>\n

During the event the All-SEC Media Poll was announced as well as the SEC Network\u2019s women\u2019s basketball commentators for the upcoming season.<\/p>\n

Faleru and McCray each acknowledged that the Tipoff served as a very real reminder that the 2014-15 season is right around the corner.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday really gave me a reason as to why I go on the court and grind everyday,\u201d said Faleru. \u201cWe have a lot to prove this season and I know that we\u2019re up for the challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n

McCray thought the day was a learning experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an eye-opening experience,\u201d said McCray \u201cThe panel that we listened to taught me a lot of things that could help us later in life and not only in basketball.\u201d<\/p>\n

Insell shared his thoughts about his team entering the 2014-15 season.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve made a lot of progress.\u201d Said Insell. \u201cI think that anything is realistic for this team. I don\u2019t\u2019 really look at any other teams, but ours and I look at how we can be the very best we can be. We have eight newcomers and we\u2019re a lot more talented from 1-13 than we were at this time last year.\u00a0 Right now I\u2019m trying to figure out who\u2019s going to play because they\u2019re all competing at a very high level.<\/p>\n

Our team this year reminds me of a team I coached at Kentucky six years ago. There is a lot of unknown, a lot of players who hadn\u2019t done a lot in the league, but decided to have a great year. I see that with our roster and I see that in our players.”<\/p>\n

Insell also talked about Tia Faleru, who returns as the leagues top returning scorer and rebounding after averaging 16.4 points and 9.4 rebounds last season.<\/p>\n

“Last year, she went in night in and night out and had double doubles all year. You have a player like Tia, whom you can build around and add in some young talented players with her — it\u2019s exciting to think about what we can become. We\u2019re not there yet, were still developing, but what we can become in January is really exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last season, Insell and the Rebels became known for playing a fast up-tempo game and that isn\u2019t something that\u2019s going away.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to play a really unique up-tempo style, very similar to what we did at Kentucky years ago,\u201d said Insell. \u201cIt\u2019s going be a lot of pressing and trying to create mismatches offensively and not playing small ball so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

The women\u2019s team opens the 2014-15 regular season on Nov. 14. The women\u2019s team will host Grambling in its annual School Kids Game at 11 a.m. at Tad Smith Coliseum while the men\u2019s team will kick off its season at 6 p.m. against Charleston Southern.\u00a0 For ticket information go to OleMissTix.com<\/a> or call the Ole Miss Ticket Office at 1-888-REB-TKTS (732-8587).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
