OLE MISS is a very good team and took Kentucky to OT last week. Andy Kennedy's squad is a very good team this year and in fact the entire SEC is up this year in College Basketball which has quietly gone unnoticed in the radar. Miss has a couple of great guards who get everyone involved. The team from Oxford is 10-5 this year but note that this team is much better than their recrod shows as they lost to Kentucky in overtime by just 3 points, routed a very good South Carolina team by 16 at home who is a top 35 team, beat Cincinnati a top 30 team, beat Oregon on the road, is a top 25 offensive squad, number 1 in the nation in free throw shooting, top 110 in defense, top 65 in offensive rebounding and top 120 in turnover percentage. What you have here is an Ole Miss team that has consistently played well against LSU over the years and Kennedy's team is aware of the system that Johnny Jones runs and combine that with LSU showing some trouble on the road this year, makes for a good opportunity for Ole Miss to do well this year.
LSU is outside the top 190 in 3 point shooting and the bigs from Ole Miss are quite competent in offensive rebounding and this is an Ole Miss team that can score not only from the inside but also from behind the arc which can cause issues for LSU. Some good trends in our favor are that the LSU Tigers are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 contests against the SEC and the MISS Rebels are 4-0 ATS following a ATS win and 4-1 ATS when facing a team with a winning percentage of greater than 60%. Look for Miss to come up big here at home and win by 12 or more pts on Wednesday night!
