Preview: Arkansas Razorbacks at Mississippi Rebels UNIVERSITY, Miss. (Interstat) — The surging Mississippi Rebels host the struggling Arkansas Razorbacks in a Southeastern Conference women’s basketball matchup on Thursday, Feb. 12, 2026, at The Pavilion at Ole Miss. Mississippi (19-5 overall) enters the contest looking to rebound from a narrow 64-63 road loss to Alabama on Feb. 5, a defeat that snapped a three-game winning streak. The Rebels have been formidable at home, boasting a 12-1 record in University this season. Their success has been fueled by standout forward Cotie McMahon, who is averaging 22.2 points over her last five games, including a 33-point outburst in a win at Missouri on Jan. 22. Conversely, Arkansas (11-14) seeks to halt a seven-game losing streak, its most recent a 75-69 setback at Florida on Feb. 8. The Razorbacks have found wins scarce in SEC play, with their last conference victory coming on Jan. 1. Guard Emily Robinson has been a bright spot during the skid, scoring 21 points in the Florida loss and averaging 17.2 points over her last three contests. Support from Taleyah Jones (19 points vs. Florida) and Harmonie Ware will be critical. The matchup pits one of the league’s hottest teams against one searching for momentum. Mississippi’s balanced attack and stout defense, which held Auburn to 45 points in a Feb. 2 win, will challenge an Arkansas squad that has allowed 80 or more points in four of its last six losses. For the Rebels, this game is a chance to solidify their standing near the top of the SEC before a tough stretch that includes games against Kentucky, Tennessee and LSU next week. For the Razorbacks, it represents an opportunity to pull a major road upset and build confidence before returning to Fayetteville to host Mississippi State on Feb. 16. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. CST. The game will be broadcast on the SEC Network.
