ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’m going to stick with Ole Miss. The Rebels are coming off a much-needed win over Georgia on Tuesday, which broke a five-game losing streak for them. Ole Miss had been at 66 or fewer points in three of those five games and the team was struggling. There’s hope here, though; the last time these teams met up on January 17 at Colonial Life Arena, Ole Miss powered out a 70-58 win with 40 second-half points. South Carolina has been flailing on this eight-game losing streak and I don’t think they’ll be able to keep up with Ole Miss at home in the rematch.
