I like Ole Miss here in the early game as they own the edge here. The Rebels have the better backcourt and more talent. Oklahoma is also a negative team on the offensive glass and turnover combo, and teams with that profile do not perform well in this tournament. Teams with that combo are 1-6 in the tourney so far, and while Mississippi is not by any means sensational in these categories, they're not negative either. I like backing teams with the guard advantage which MISS has and I also like Kermit Davis, who has done really well in this tournament with lesser talent at Middle Tennessee. Miss was battled tested with a very tough schedule in the SEC. In a pick'em spot I am on MISSISSIPPI here on Friday.
