Timmons scores 23 for No. 21 Alabama women in 64-63 thriller over No. 13 Ole
Miss
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) --- Jessica Timmons scored 23 points and grabbed seven
rebounds, Karly Weathers added 14 points and six rebounds, and No. 21 Alabama
took down No. 13 Ole Miss 64-63 on Thursday night.
Timmons scored six straight points beginning with 2:31 remaining in regulation,
and gave the Crimson Tide (20-4, 6-4 Southeastern Conference) a lead with 47
seconds on the clock.
After Ole Miss retook the lead on two free throws, Diana Collins made a driving
layup that secured the win with 18 seconds to go.
Cotie McMahon led with 22 points for the Rebels (19-5, 6-3), but she was called
for a charge with 10 seconds remaining that negated her go-ahead bucket.
Sira Thienou added 13 points and seven rebounds, Christeen Iwuala had 11 and 15
rebounds, and Latasha Lattimore scored 10 to go with 13 rebounds for Ole Miss.
Lattimore's buzzer-beater attempt couldn't find the basket as Alabama survived
for the upset.
Alabama has lost just one game of 17 at home this season (a 70-59 loss to
then-No. 20 Tennessee). Crimson Tide head coach Kristy Curry reached 550 career
victories with the win.
