The Texas Longhorns (14-6, 3-4 SEC) and the No. 23 Ole Miss Rebels (15-5, 4-3) meet Wednesday at the Sandy and John Black Pavilion. Tip-off is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Texas vs. Ole Miss odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.
The Longhorns edged Texas A&M 70-69 as 1-point favorites Saturday, pushing at most shops while cashing the Under (140). Texas has struggled lately, though, going just 3-4 straight up (SU) in the past 7 games, while going 4-1-1 against the spread (ATS) in the previous 6 outings. The Under has hit in 3 in a row, while the total has gone low in 5 of the past 7 outings.
The Rebels have dropped 3 in a row, and they’re in danger of tumbling out of the rankings completely. They’ve failed to cover the past 2 losses at Missouri Saturday and at home against Texas A&M last Wednesday (Jan. 22), and the Over is 2-1 in the past 3 games, although the Under is on a 10-3 roll in the previous 13 contests since Dec. 3.

Texas at Ole Miss picks and predictions
Prediction
Ole Miss 71, Texas 68
Moneyline
Ole Miss (-275) will set you almost 3 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for a team that comes in on a 3-game losing streak.
However, Texas (+220) has suffered 4 losses in the past 7 games, so neither of these teams really should give moneyline bettors a lot of confidence.
PASS.
Against the spread
TEXAS +6.5 (-115) is worth playing catching more than 3 buckets. The Longhorns aren’t winning a lot of games outright, but they’re 4-1-1 ATS in the past 6 games.
On the flip side, Ole Miss -6.5 (-105) has failed to cover the past 2 games, while going just 2-3 ATS in the past 5 outings at home.
Over/Under
UNDER 141.5 (-115) is worth a look in this battle between 2 struggling teams.
It’s all about the Rebels lately, going 5-2 to the Under in the last 7 games and 10-3 in the previous 13 outings.
For the Longhorns, the Under is 5-3 in the past 8 outings, with the total going low in each of the past 3 games.
