T.M. Selection: Missouri.

I like Missouri to cover the spread against Ole Miss in this game on Saturday. Missouri hasn't looked great lately winning 1/6 games in their previous 6 and they just lost their most recent game by 8 to Vanderbilt. Ole Miss hasn't looked any better though and I think Missouri can get a win here on their home court in this game. They have not been having a good year but they are above .500 in their home games this year and I think this is their best shot to win a game and start to build some momentum in this final stretch of the year. They have lost 3 home games in a row but they have looked really good in those games and were very close to beating some very good teams. All 3 of those losses were within 3 points and 1 of those losses was even by 1 point against Auburn who was ranked 1st in the country at the time. They have even upset Alabama on their home court this year. Ole Miss is lower in than the standings than Missouri is and they have struggled a lot in conference play this year winning just 3/11 games. They have also looked terrible in their road games with wins in 1/5 road games this year. They have lost 2 games in a row and I think they are going to continue to skid here in a hostile environment against a team that has looked good on their home court and has been able to compete with some really good teams on their home floor. I think Missouri is playing better and I like them to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 76-70 Missouri.
