Central Michigan women's basketball battles back to top Ole Miss in overtime, 78-75

Coming off its biggest win in school history, Central Michigan rallied for a 78-75 overtime win against Ole Miss Wednesday afternoon. The win comes three days after the Chippewas shocked then-No. 12 Purdue, 75-62, Sunday in Mount Pleasant. In the first half against Ole Miss, however, it looked as though the Chippewas (4-5) came in tight, trailing by as many as 14 points to the Rebels. Central scored the final four points of the half to cut the halftime deficit to 35-25. Central committed 13 turnovers in the first half, which led to 17 Ole Miss points. The entire second half was used by CMU to get back in the game. Slowly but surely the Chippewas finally tied the game at 62 all with 22 seconds left after Taylor Johnson nailed a three-point shot. After Ole Miss made two free throws, Crystal Bradford’s layup with five seconds left tied the score at 64 apiece and sent the game into overtime.
