Taylor Manuel scored a season-best, but it was not enough. In what might be considered a shock to some, Grambling defeated Ole Miss 78-75 in the first round of the Women’s National Invitation Tournament at The Pavilion on Thursday night.

With the game tied 75 all, Grambling’s John’ea Thompson hit a layup with 11 seconds left. Ole Miss failed to get a shot off out of a timeout, ending their season with a record of 17-14. It is the longest the Rebels’ season has lasted since making it to the third round of the WNIT in 2015 before falling to Middle Tennessee State.

“My job as we move into the offseason is to figure out why we’re in the NIT and how can we make sure we’re not in it again,” Ole Miss head coach Matt Insell said. “That’s something I’ll be working on for a week in my head and on paper, making sure we’re not in this game again.”
