SEC action tips on Saturday as the Ole Miss Rebels visit the Georgia Bulldogs. Both teams hope to snap lengthy conference losing streaks as little more than pride is at stake here.
Today’s contest is the first meeting this year between the Rebels and Bulldogs. Ole Miss (3-10 SEC) ranks 13th out of its 14-team conference. UGA (1-12) sits last place in the SEC.
The Rebels come in as -3 favorites for a game that may boost the winning side’s stretch-run confidence.
Ole Miss Rebels
After exposing Memphis earlier this year, fortunes have plummeted for Ole Miss basketball. The Rebels haven’t won a contest since upsetting LSU on Feb. 1.
Amid their four-game winless drought, Ole Miss lost on an improbable half-court buzzer beater in overtime recently vs. South Carolina. Defense is a sore spot for the Rebs as they’ve allowed at least 74 points in their last three outings.
Meanwhile, season-ending injuries to talented freshman point guard Daeshun Ruffin have hamstrung Mississippi’s offense. Unable to generate open looks, or properly spread the floor, Ole Miss averages just 68 2 points.
Overall, the Rebels add 99.4 points per 100 possessions and allow 98.6. Neither number is positive. However, with their middling defense trending downward, Ole Miss has no selling point heading into Saturday’s matchup.
The Rebels shoot 43/32/70% and allow 44% from the field in return.
Georgia Bulldogs
The Georgia Bulldogs have dropped 12 of 13 conference tests to cement their strained year. Transfer portal losses and injuries kept this UGA group from building upon a competitive 2021 ledger.
Not long ago, however, the Bulldogs enjoyed ATS highlights during spirited battles vs. favored opposition. Georgia won four of six against the spread from Jan. 25 through Feb. 9 before being overwhemed by their last two opponents.
In succession, South Carolina (80-68) and LSU (84-65) downed the Bulldogs. Poor two-way execution kept Tom Crean and Co. from satisfying their backers as UGA looked every bit its record against the Gamecocks and Tigers.
Overall, Georgia averages 99.7 points per 100 possessions and allows 109.6. That defensive number could give offensively-challenged Ole Miss a little extra hope on Saturday.
The Bulldogs shoot 43/31/74% and allow 46% shooting from the field in return. The lone UGA bright spot of late is Kario Oquendo. The 6-4 Sophomore has scored at least 17 points in his last five games.
CBB Betting Trends:
- Over is 4-1 in Rebels last 5 overall.
- Over is 14-12 this season for Georgia.
- Bulldogs are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400.
- Bulldogs are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record.
- Bulldogs are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.
- Over is 8-2 in Bulldogs last 10 Saturday games.
- Bulldogs are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games following a ATS loss.
- Road team is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.
Free Ole Miss Rebels vs. Georgia Bulldogs NCAAB Betting Prediction:
The Rebels and Bulldogs have struggled both straight up and against the spread of late. With that noted, and without much competitive separation between these squads, I think the Over is the best play here.
UGA allows 77.4 points per game and Ole Miss has given up 70-plus points in four of its last five games. I can see both teams running up the score a bit as defense will likely be optional Saturday from Athens.
