Ole Miss women’s basketball’s Christeen Iwuala is set to participate in the Lilly Women’s College All-Star Game and Combine next Friday and Saturday at the Global Credit Union Arena on the campus of Grand Canyon University.

The combine will take place on Friday, April 3, as fans will be able to stream the scrimmage here. The All-Star game will follow on Saturday, April 4 at 12 p.m. CT, airing on ESPN2.

This marks the second consecutive year that a Rebel has appeared in the prestigious game, as Madison Scott helped Team Miller earn a 71-59 victory in last year’s event.

Throughout her senior tenure, Iwuala became one of the most dominant forwards in the SEC, averaging a near double-double with 12.5 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. She recorded almost half of the Ole Miss’ double-doubles this season, becoming the first Rebel to accomplish the feat in 11 games since Scott had the same amount in the 2022-23 season.

During the nonconference season, Iwuala was recognized on the Cherokee Invitational and the Coast 2 Coast Classic All-Tournament Teams. She is only one of three Rebels to shoot over 60 percent from the field in a season, joining Promise Taylor and Eugenia Conner on that elite list.
