Ole Miss @ Alabama
Current Records: Ole Miss 8-5; Alabama 11-2
What to Know
The Ole Miss Rebels have enjoyed the comforts of home their last five games, but now they must head out on the road. Ole Miss and the #7 Alabama Crimson Tide will face off in an SEC battle at 9 p.m. ET Tuesday at Coleman Coliseum. The Rebels have some work to do to even out the 2-7 series between these two since January of 2016, but a win here would be a good start.
It was close but no cigar for Ole Miss as they fell 63-59 to the Tennessee Volunteers last Wednesday. Guard Matthew Murrell had a memorable game, but not in the way you want to be remembered: he picked up five fouls and turned the ball over four times en route to a 1-for-11, 5-point finish.
Meanwhile, the stars were brightly shining for Bama in a 78-67 victory over the Mississippi State Bulldogs last week. Bama got double-digit scores from four players: guard Mark Sears (20), forward Brandon Miller (19), forward Noah Clowney (12), and forward Nick Pringle (10).
Ole Miss is the clear underdog, so they’re hoping it’s the size of the fight that determines this one. Those playing the odds have seen things go back and forth with the Rebels, who are 5-6-2 against the spread.
Alabama’s win lifted them to 11-2 while Ole Miss’ loss dropped them down to 8-5. Mark Sears will be someone to keep an eye on after he had 20 points last week. Let’s see if he can build on that strong performance or if Ole Miss’ defense can bottle him up.
