LEXINGTON, Ky .: Shakira Austin had 22 points and 12 rebounds, Madison Scott also had a double-double and Mississippi knocked down 19th Kentucky for the second time this season, winning 73-69 on Sunday.
Two below-par offensive performances against the Rebels, who have won just four conference games, dropped the Wildcats to fifth place with just one time off for the Southeastern Conference tournament next week.
Donnetta Johnson scored 14 points for Ole Miss (10-10, 4-10 SEC), Scott and Snudda Collins both got 12. Scott got 10 rebounds and Collins four 3-pointers, including a clutch shot from the left corner with 1:07 play that made it 64-58.
Ole Miss finished 9 of 10 from the foul line in the last minute and 14 of 15 in the fourth quarter.
Rhyne Howard scored 21 points and had 16 rebounds, a career-high for Kentucky (16-10, 9-6). She was 26 and 10 in the first meeting, but in both games combined, she shot 13 of 51 from the floor, 2 of 15 at 3 points.
Chasity Patterson scored 18 points for the Wildcats, who averaged 77.6 points and are shooting 45.6% overall and 37% from 3 points at home.
Ole Miss held Kentucky 5 of 17 out of a 3-point range and 33.3% overall (22 of 66). In the previous 72-60 win, the Wildcats were 6 of 26 from distance and shot 31.8% (21 of 66).
A 15-2 run gave Kentucky a 22-11 lead at the end of the first quarter. Ole Miss was in the 31-25 scoring the last five points of the half. The Rebels opened the second half with three straight layups from Johnson followed by two Collins 3s for a 37-31 lead.
