Ole Miss Betting Preview

The Ole Miss Rebels (13–15 ATS) are looking to snap a three-game losing streak after falling to Alabama 103–88 in their most recent loss. The Rebels were up by 14 points at one time but they turned the ball over 14 times and were outscored 40–28 in points in the paint. These are two areas of the game they will need to improve upon with their game tonight. Ole Miss is scoring 75.6 PPG this season and ranks 18th in the nation in three-point percentage hitting 37.6%. The Tigers do not have good perimeter defense ranking 225th in the nation defending the 3-point line. Matthew Murrell leads the Rebels in scoring with 16.9 PPG along with 3.8 RPG and 2.3 APG along with 1.7 SPG while Allen Flanigan has 15.7 PPG with a team-high 6.5 RPG to lead the Rebels on the glass.

Missouri Betting Preview

Missouri has had a rough season and entered Saturday night’s matchup losers of 15 straight games after starting the season 7–2. The Tigers have played competitive basketball this season but they are overmatched at times. Missouri lost to Florida 83–74 in their last outing but they did cover the +13 point spread for bettors. Sean East II leads the Tigers in scoring with 17.2 PPG while Nick Honor has 11.1 PPG and Noah Carter has 11.3 PPG with a team-high 5 RPG to lead Missouri in rebounding. On the season, the Tigers averaged 72.1 PPG while allowing 75.2 PPG.

Free Pick

Missouri (0–15 SEC) has come close to getting their first win in conference play in recent weeks and one of those opportunities came against Ole Miss. During their last meeting, the Rebels committed 22 fouls and the Tigers shot 30 free throws so Ole Miss will need to do a better job defending in this game. Ole Miss is currently on the bubble for the NCAA Tournament and after losing three straight games they will be desperate for a win. Even though the Rebels are just 3–6 on the road they have an opportunity to get back in the win column. Ole Miss is clearly the better team and they will prevail so take the Rebels as a -1.5 point favorite.
