Point Spread: 1.50 | -102.00 Rebels (MISS) (Away)
Result: Loss
Ole Miss is coming into this game with an 11-1 record this season and they have been playing very well in their recent games. Their only loss this season came in a neutral location against Purdue by 2 points, but they have won their last 5 straight games since then. They have been dominant in these wins as well, winning all 5 games by 10+ points and allowing 63 points or less in all 5 as well. They are going up against a Memphis team that is 9-3 this season, but they have not been great in their recent games. They have lost 2 of their last 4 games and they are coming off of a loss at home against Mississippi State in their last game. They were dominated in that game as well, losing at home by 13 points. They have actually lost their last 2 games at home as well, the other loss coming by 13 points against Arkansas State. They have played some quality opponents this season, but they struggled to beat both Clemson and Virginia in their last 3 games and a lot of their games against stronger opponents have been settled by just a few points. They have not been as good on defense either, allowing 79+ points in 3 of their last 4 games. Memphis has been good this season with their shooting from the field and they are a top 10 team in the country from the 3 as well, but their defense has not been great in either situation. Ole Miss has been much better on defense this season, better defending shots from the field and from 3 point range, and they have also been better with their shooting from the field while also being a top 80 team in the country from the 3. Both teams are also very similar from the free throw line and with their rebounding, but Ole Miss has the advantage with their better defensive play and that will be a big factor in this game. Ole Miss will cover the spread in this game.
