Missouri at Ole Miss: Three things to know
- Missouri moved into the top-10 following wins over Kentucky and Alabama last week. Since Jan. 16, the Tigers are 6-1, and that stretch includes wins over ‘Bama and Tennessee, both of which are over .500 in SEC play. Over those seven games, Mizzou has held opponents to a 42.4% accuracy mark from the floor.
- Ole Miss plays a slow-paced style, and its 63.4 points per game allowed ranks second in the league. The Rebels are coming off back-to-back two-point wins over Tennessee and Auburn.
- Both teams like to play more inside than outside. The key particulars on the boards figure to be a pair of seniors in Missouri F Jeremiah Tilmon and Ole Miss F Romello White. Tilmon averages 3.1 offensive rebounds per game and has shot 63.1% on the way to notching 13.1 PPG and 7.9 RPG. White was listed as questionable (undisclosed) last game but scored 30 against Auburn.

Missouri at Ole Miss: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Missouri 67, Ole Miss 65
Money line (ML)
Is Ole Miss perhaps a bit gassed after a hard-fought overtime game at Auburn on Saturday?
An overall shooting edge and extra trips to the charity stripe are factors in Mizzou’s favor. Back the more battle-tested Tigers: TAKE MISSOURI (+105).
Against the spread (ATS)
How do the slower-tempo Rebels fare against faster-paced teams? For the latter question, solid comps are in the Ole Miss record. And they don’t paint a pretty picture: against the likes of Auburn (twice), Georgia (twice), Arkansas, Alabama, and Florida, the Rebels are 2-5 ATS. And that’s with two wins over Auburn, one of which was an unlikely comeback after being down double digits in the second half.
TAKE MISSOURI +1.5 (-110) as a play with just a few ounces of profit margin.
Over/Under (O/U)
Clashing styles in more of a 2-point game spell a contest reaching a 130-135 range. PASS.
