Ole Miss is coming into this game with a 24-11 record this season and they were 10-8 in their conference. They have been playing well in their recent games as they have won 3 of their last 4 as well as 5 of their last 7 games. They have been dominant in this tournament as well, beating North Carolina 71-64 in a game they led the whole way, and beating Iowa State 91-78 in another game they led the whole way. They played in a very tough conference this season so they have been tested and they did very well in the non-conference as well, going 11-2 with their only losses coming against Memphis and Purdue. They are going up against a Michigan State team that is 29-6 this season and they were 17-3 in their conference. They have been on fire recently as they have won their last 2 straight as well as 10 of their last 11 games, but they have also been overachieving all season as the talent on this team is not as good as the way they have been playing. That has showed up recently though as they lost in the Big 10 Tournament to Wisconsin and have not played as well in their last 2 games either. They beat Bryant 87-62, but that game was very close in the 1st half and it took Michigan State a while to pull away in that game. Now they are coming off of a 71-63 win against New Mexico in their last game, but that was a game they were trailing up until there was 5 minutes left in the game. Michigan State dominated the Big 10 all season, but they had a very weak non-conference schedule as they were not tested by many quality opponents, and they have not faced a single SEC team this season either. Ole Miss has had more of an edge in this tournament and that is going to be the difference here. Ole Miss will cover the spread in this game.
