Cotie McMahon’s college career ended on the bench. She fouled out on a questionable charge call and couldn’t do anything as Ole Miss lost to Minnesota at the buzzer in the NCAA Tournament Round of 32.<\/p>\n
It doesn’t change how special McMahon’s time in college was, though, and it doesn’t change her chance of making an impact in the WNBA.<\/p>\n
That is the next step for McMahon. This was her last college game.<\/p>\n
Three years at Ohio State were followed by this last season at Ole Miss, and now she’ll head to the professional ranks.<\/p>\n
