- Ole Miss head coach pans AP women's basketball poll: 'This is a joke'
After the latest AP Top 25 women's basketball poll was released on Monday, Ole Miss Rebels coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin panned the outlet's national rankings.
"This is a joke," McPhee-McCuin shared on X in a quote tweet of the AP's rankings. "And if the voters [are] not going to do their jobs, we don't need [an] AP poll! Had we lost two games in a row, we'd be fighting to stay in, or we'd be out!"

"It's not fair to my kids. Just do right! I can't get behind people that don't do their jobs. The bias is unfair!", she later tweeted . "And this is no shot at anyone but the voters that didn't do their jobs! This week, we lost to Texas by [three] on the road. Beat [No. 5] Oklahoma on the road and [won] a lot vs [Mississippi] State at home. You [move] us up 2 spots? I'm tired of the disrespect!"
McPhee-McCuin isn't the only SEC coach voicing their frustration over the last several days.
On Sunday, Texas head coach Vic Schaefer said the SEC had a "vendetta" against the Longhorns after his team fell, 70-65, to LSU. "Not only have we started in the league, and I get to play South Carolina twice last year, this year, I get LSU twice," said Schaefer. "I have to play South Carolina on the road this year, as well as LSU. I get them back-to-back in the same week. Now, make that make sense."
The Rebels coach eventually chose to move on from sharing her displeasure with a final tweet.

"OK, let me redirect my energy back to things I can control! Which is this week off!" she said .
