Today’s late SEC tournament matchup pits the Alabama Crimson Tide vs. the Ole Miss Rebels and carries major NCAA tournament implications.
The Rebels are considered a near-lock for selection Sunday, needing only a win this evening vs. Alabama to move forward. Meanwhile, amid a three-game losing streak, the Crimson Tide must defeat Ole Miss to remain on the bubble.
With so much at stake, expect fireworks in today’s pick em’ #6 vs. #10 showdown.

Though the higher-seeded team, and struggling, Alabama dominated Ole Miss 74-53 Jan. 22. That drubbing represents the season’s only meeting between these conference foes.
Alabama Crimson Tide
And what a meeting Jan. 22 became for the streaky Crimson Tide. Hitting on all cylinders opposite then nationally-ranked Ole Miss, Alabama combined offensive balance with defensive intensity to outclass a wide-eyed Rebels bunch.
John Petty’s 15 points led the Crimson Tide’s bench-clearing effort.
Perhaps even more impressive, however, was the sustained defensive intensity Alabama wielded which erased Mississippi’s scoring options. Constantly harrased by Tide defenders, Ole Miss shot poorly from the field and from deep while being outrebounded 44-to-32.
Even with Alabama’s recent misgivings, it’s hard not to give Avery Johnson’s men the benefit of competitive doubt that they earned by routing Ole Miss well ahead of today’s contest.

But losing six-of-eight, as Alabama has, casts shadows on the biggest of mid-season straight up wins. Simply, the Tide’s once upset-generating balance has fallen apart as SEC opponents have left Alabama in a pile of losses to end regular season play. That stated, today could bring an end to the Tide’s once-promising campaign. It’s difficult for any team to flip the switch from sustained competitive doormat to NCAA Big Dance spoiler.
To finish its regular season, Alabama lost to LSU, Auburn, and most recently 82-70 vs. Arkansas.
Ole Miss Rebels
As stated, the Rebels didn’t match up well in January vs. a primed, top-25-headhunting Alabama group. Although since, Ole Miss has fared better than their initial 2019 SEC tournament roadblock. En route to a bounce back 20-win season, the Rebels have gained quality victories and competitive losses —narrow setbacks to top-ranked opponents which show the selection committee upset upside. Mississippi is 2-3 in its last five games. Yet, those three losses come by a seven-point total against the likes of Kentucky, Arkansas, and Tennessee.
Most recently, Ole Miss wrapped its regular season by defeating Missouri 73-68 on the road.
CBB Betting Trends:
- Rebels are 2-3 SU in their last five games.
- Alabama is 2-3 SU in its last five games.
- Alabama is 3-1 SU at neutral this season.
- Rebels are 3-1 SU neutral this season.
Free Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Ole Miss Rebels NCAA Prediction:
A contest of this importance, featuring so many sub plots, requires close consideration. Each team comes in fighting for its NCAA tournament life: that factor creates back-and-forth duels. Further, the Tide’s shaky free-throw shooting 66% (304th nationally) and unstable mentality lead one to believe a dogfight today could be won by Ole Miss.
The Rebels are balanceed offensively (76 ppg) and defensively (70.6 ppg). But in a tight spot, Ole Miss’ 78.5% FTM (3rd nationally) could be a game saver.
Finally, right now, the Rebels are simply better than Alabama.
