Best Bet of First Round

A rare case of conventional logic proven true. Under specific circumstances that apply today, the team that has played well on the road is 60.5 percent winners. Ole Miss had three guys who can shoot from outside and having secondary options is critical is games against quality opponents.

The amoeba zone run by Ole Miss gives teams that have never faced it before a lot of trouble. This is even better against an OU team that struggles to shoot, necessary to beat this zone.
