ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — Brandie Harrod's layup with 1 second remaining lifted Kansas State to a 61-60 victory over No. 13 Mississippi on Sunday in the third annual Dan Snyder Classic.
Neither team led by more than four points in the fourth quarter and it was 56-all heading to the final minute of regulation. Sira Thienou hit two free throws for a 58-56 lead for the Rebels with 48 seconds remaining. A three-point play by Taryn Sides, who scored 13 points, gave K-State a 59-58 lead then Cotie McMahon scored in the paint to put the Rebels back in front with 16 seconds remaining.
After a timeout, Harrod, a freshman, scored ahead of the final horn to give the Wildcats (6-5) the victory.
The Wildcats got plenty of support from their bench, with freshman Jordan Speiser scoring a career-high 19 points and Tess Heal adding 11 points. They both played 30 minutes due to foul trouble for a couple of starters.
McMahon led Ole Miss (8-1) with 22 points and Tianna Thompson scored 12 off the bench.
Ole Miss took an early 10-2 lead and led 15-9 with a minute left in the first quarter before K-State's Izela Arenas and Speiser knocked down 3-pointers to tie the score heading to the second quarter.
Ole Miss went up 29-23 in the second, but the Wildcats rallied again and trailed 31-28 at halftime.
