Preview
Ole Miss went 0-2 last week in two tough games against top-15 teams. The Rebels find themselves in a peculiar position currently. They sit on the NCAA Tournament bubble, despite holding an 18-5 record. That is a result of their weak non-conference schedule, which allowed Ole Miss to start out 13-0. Now 5-5 in SEC play, they need to take advantage of games like this one against good teams to stay inside the field.
Kentucky came up short at home against Gonzaga on Saturday, continuing their recent struggles. They have now lost 4 of their last 6 games, sliding from a projected 3-seed to 7-seed. The Wildcats should still make the NCAA Tournament without too much trouble, but they would benefit from gaining momentum before then. They’ll aim to right the ship with a home win against a similarly struggling Ole Miss team here.
Prediction
With both of these teams struggling to stay afloat in SEC play, it makes predicting the winner of this game more difficult. That being said, Kentucky’s recent troubles are the biggest thing going against them, while Ole Miss is working against both the metrics and Kentucky’s home-court advantage. The Rebels should be able to avoid a blowout with how the Wildcats have been playing, but I still see Kentucky winning this one.
