The Ole Miss Rebels will look to build on their 74-62 win over Siena in their last game. Matthew Murrell leads the Rebels in scoring and assists with 15.2 PPG and 3 aPG along with 4.2 RPG while Amaree Abram has 12.2 PPG and Jahmyn Brakefield has 11 PPG with 5.7 RPG to cap off the trio of double-digit scorers for Ole Miss up to this point in the year.

As a team, Ole Miss is averaging 73.5 PPG on 46.1% shooting from the field, 34.8% from three and 67.2% from the foul line this season.
The Oklahoma Sooners will try to add to a 77-64 win over Seton Hall from their last game. Grant Sherfield leads the Sooners in scoring and assists with 16.2 PPG along with 5 APG while Tanner Groves has 10.8 PPG and 8.3 RPG to lead the Sooners in rebounding while also being the only other double-digit scorer for Oklahoma up to this point in the year.

Ole Miss is 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 neutral site games and 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall while the over is 5-0 in their last 5 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600. Oklahoma is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a winning record and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 games overall.
I get the case to be made either way here, but I’m looking at the under here. These are two teams that normally find themselves in lower-scoring games because they play solid defense, and even if they don’t, both are near the bottom in the country in terms of pace and I think this is just going to be another slow-paced game where the first to 60 or maybe 65 wins. Give me the under here.
