The Mississippi Rebels enter this contest on a severe slide in dropping four of their last five games, overall. Their inconsistent play resulted in them being bounced from the SEC tournament in the first round by the Alabama Crimson Tide by 5 points as they shot just 38% from the floor as a team in defeat.
On the other hand, the Oklahoma Sooners are also reeling at this point in the season as well in dropping three of their last five entering this first round March Madness showdown. They were also bounced early from the Big 12 Conference tournament by the lowly West Virginia Mountaineers by one point.
Mississippi Rebels
The Rebels had one of their worst outings in recent past versus the Crimson Tide as they were only able to muster 57 points in defeat in the first round of the SEC Conference tournament. Devontae Shuler along with Bruce Stevens were the only two double-digit scores with 14 and 12 points, respectively.

As stated, Mississippi shot just 38% from the floor during the contest while going a miserable 7-26 from three-point range. And despite forcing 16 turnovers for Alabama, Mississippi was heavily outrebounded in this contest while also allowing the Crimson Tide to get to the free-throw line twice as many times.
Leading scorer for Mississippi in Breein Tyree had his worst game in quite some time in posting just 7 points versus Alabama. Nonetheless, he has posted 20 or more points in three of the last four outings for his team.
Terence Davis is averaging 15 points per game for Mississippi this season yet has struggled in the last two outings. Nonetheless, the 6 4in guard continues to be a huge threat on the offensive end in shooting 38% from long range.
Oklahoma Sooners
Brady Manek along with Kristian Doolittle let the team with 22 and 18 points as the Oklahoma Sooners fell to the West Virginia Mountaineers in the first round of the Big 12 Conference tournament. While the Sooners were able to shoot 45% from the floor, they struggled from three-point range in connecting on four on the night ( compared to 9 for the Mountaineers).
Leading scorer on the season in Christian James struggled in going 5-13 from the floor while ending with 11 points. The guard has really been hit-or-miss recently, yet halted a streak of three straight single-digit performances versus West Virginia.

On the other hand, Doolittle (11 ppg) has certainly increased his level of play on the offensive end as he is currently averaging 17 points per game in the last six outings for Oklahoma. The forward is also averaging 50% shooting from the floor on a nightly basis, as well.
Look for Oklahoma to step things up on the defensive end of the floor as they are allowing only 40% shooting to opponents on a nightly basis along with less than 70 points.
CBB Betting Trends:

Free Oklahoma Sooners vs. Mississippi Rebels NCAAB Prediction:
While each of these teams did not end the season in a picture perfect way. I happen to believe that the Rebels happens to be the better team, all around.
With that being the case, look for Mississippi to pull out a victory over a Sooners team that continues to be much too up-and-down on the offensive end. Look for this to be a defensive minded affair to where the Rebels will indeed cover the two points in an 85-75 victory.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Mississippi -2
As stated, the Sooners will look to rely on their defense in which to keep this game competitive. However, their offense will struggle versus the Rebels in this matchup, as well.
I strongly believe that Mississippi will have the huge leg up in this contest as they will march on to victory in the end due to their play on defense while hitting critical buckets at pivotal moments within the matchup.
