The Ole Miss Rebels enter this NCAA Tourney matchup with the Oklahoma Sooners as losers of four of their last five games, but that straight up record is a bit deceiving. The Rebels played a tough schedule and were 4-1 ATS in those five games and a solid 13-6 ATS as favorites on the season.

Here they'll face an Oklahoma team that is 2-4 ATS through its last six games and lost straight up as a 6.5-point favorite against WVU in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament on Wednesday. The Sooners are just 3-9 ATS in their last 12 NCAA Tournament games.

The Rebels will have a clear advantage on the charity stripe in this matchup, entering Friday ranked fifth nationally at 78.3%, while the Sooners are 235th at 69.1%. With this expected to a close game free throws could easily play a huge part down the stretch.

8* play on Ole Miss Rebels.
