Matthew Mitchell called last week’s come-from-behind win at Florida the type of victory a team can hang its hat on – a season-defining victory, if you will.The Kentucky women’s basketball team did it again Thursday, pulling off its second straight comeback win on the road. This time the Cats rallied from an 11-point second-half deficit to stun Ole Miss 74-68. “This was a real difficult game that we certainly could have come out on the wrong side of,” Mitchell said on the postgame radio show. “I’m really proud of the players that they fought hard.” The win was UK’s fifth straight in the league to improve to 5-2 in Southeastern Conference play. More importantly, it was another tough road victory for a team that looked like it didn’t know how to win away from home before last week.”It was the best of times in the second half and the worst of times in the first half,” Mitchell said. “That was a crazy, crazy game for the Wildcats.”Consider this: UK’s leading scorer, Victoria Dunlap, was held to just two points and zero field goals in the first half; Ole Miss guard Shae Nelson blistered the Cats for 17 first-half points; UK hit only 32.3 percent of its shots in the first half; Ole Miss shot 75 percent in the second half and was 12 of 13 from the free-throw line. And yet Kentucky outscored Ole Miss by 14 points in the second half and won.Crazy indeed.How the Cats managed to overcome a blistering-hot Ole Miss team was their relentless second-half press. Quite literally, Kentucky stole the win from Ole Miss. After forcing just five turnovers in first half, UK got 18 after halftime.The turning point came with a 12:53 left to play. Trailing 51-40, UK mounted a 27-9 run to take a 67-60 lead with a full-court, trapping press. At one point during the comeback, Ole Miss turned the ball over on three straight possessions. “It was very important to try to (speed Ole Miss up) because I felt like (Valencia) McFarland and Nelson were just having their way with dribble penetration,” Mitchell said. “When we would let them bring the ball up and get into their offense, we could not guard those two kids off the dribble. Finally we got Maegan Conwright in the game and we were able to start trapping a little bit.”Even when we didn’t turn it over, now they didn’t have as much time to operate in their offensive system. The press was really good to us and it was very important.”Mitchell credited Conwright with changing the energy of the game. The freshman guard, who has slid over to the four in recent games with A’dia Mathies at the point, scored seven points and dished out four assists in 19 minutes of play.”I told Maegan, I thought she had a real opportunity to change the game,” Mitchell said. “I thought her energy alone could change the game. We looked discouraged, we looked down, we didn’t look aggressive. I just thought when she was able to come in the game and get into the press, she got us going there. She made some fantastic, aggressive moves that opened up that zone and got us into the interior where we could score.”What a huge night for Maegan Conwright. Don’t think we could have even come close to winning the game if she hadn’t played the way she played.”Of course, UK probably wouldn’t have won either without the continued clutch play of freshman guard Jennifer O’Neill. After struggling tremendously in the first half, O’Neill provided perhaps the three biggest shots of the game. On the heels of a turnover-riddled stretch from Ole Miss, O’Neill knocked down three straight shots, including two 3-pointers, to turn a 55-53 deficit into a 61-57 lead, Kentucky’s first lead since the middle of the second half.O’Neill finished with 10 points on the evening, her fourth straight game in double figures.”It was an amazing display of a kid hanging in there because I thought she really reverted back to some old tendencies (in the first half),” Mitchell said. “I thought she came back in the second half and took some excellent shots. It seemed like her 10 (points) came in sort of a flurry, in a wave. I thought it was one of the big keys to getting back in the game.”Wins like Thursday’s don’t come very often. For it to happen twice in eight days is pretty special.The comebacks are indicative of a team that’s learning how to win on the road, toughening up mentally, and as Mitchell said Wednesday, a team that is maturing.Who would have thought this team was capable of that after the three-game losing streak.”What a remarkable turnaround,” Mitchell said.It’s hard to determine if he was talking about Thursday’s comeback or the midseason reversal.
