In addition, there will be no basketball doubleheaders this season at the Davis Event Center. When the Lady Indians are playing at home, the Indians will be on the road against the same opponent and vice versa. The decision was made by the presidents whose schools are members of the Mississippi Association of Community Colleges Conference (MACCC) to help add an extra level of safety and caution with the conference's COVID protocol.

All home games are scheduled to start at 5:30 p.m. and will be available on LetsGoICCTV.com/red along with the Itawamba CC channel on Roku and Fire TV.

The Lady Indians return five players from last year's squad that finished 18-7 and advanced to the quarterfinals of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Region 23 Tournament. They include Xhiir Burgess (Oxford), Lymyia Fifer (Louisville), Scarlett Guess (Blue Mountain), Mariah Holland (Oxford) and Shomaria Overton (Leland).  

Coach Robin Porter will have nine new faces on the roster this season, including Genise Dabbs (Fulton), Chloe Edwards (Yazoo City), Nadia Gillespie (Olive Branch), R'Daztiny Harris (Hickory Flat), Amelya Hatch (Ripley), Demetria Shephard (Pontotoc), Jhalia Small (Amory) and Ky'Leo Worriels (Hinesville, Ga.).
