Why Should You Bet on Ole Miss?

It looks like the Rebels are finally waking up to the fact that they are good enough to play in the NCAA tournament. Unfortunately, they don’t have much time if they want to punch their ticket, because nine losses is already a lot for an at-large team. However, games like the Arkansas win are signs that they may be more than ready to go on a big run. The Razorbacks went up by double digits on the road early in this game, but Ole Miss came all the way back to complete their third win in their last four SEC games. This is a team that moves the ball well and shares the scoring (five players had double figures in points). It’s true that Arkansas is an inconsistent team — and an awful team on the road — but that doesn’t mean that Ole Miss’ win was a fluke by any means.

Why Should You Bet on the Aggies?

ole-miss-vs-texas-am-ncaab-collehe-hoops-picks Remember when Texas A&M was the #5 team in the nation? Now they’ve fallen out of the AP poll, because they’ve lost four straight games. Losing to LSU isn’t the biggest source of shame in the world, given the stunning play of Ben Simmons this year, but losing four in a row is not going to get them anywhere near the NCAA tournament, given how many teams are starting to make runs right now. In fact, if you take out that Aggie win in the SEC-Big 12 challenge, Texas A&M has actually lost five straight games in SEC play. Danuel House is continuing to find the basket (scoring 20 against LSU), but the Aggies are losing that reputation for strong defense. They had a seven-point lead in the second half, but they could not find ways to stop the Tigers when they needed to, and they paid the price. The advantage that Texas A&M has over Ole Miss is that suffocating defense, which has still been showing up in spurts. They need that defensive effort for a full 40 minutes to beat Ole Miss.

Expert Betting Pick and Final Score Prediction

I like Ole Miss to continue their impressive run through the second half of the SEC schedule and pull of a 72-69 win at Texas A&M.
