Would never say "lock" because there is no such thing. However, I feel strong enough to make this my 2nd biggest play YTD.
[COLOR=#000000 !important]Here it is.....and yes, it is Ole Miss. I was hoping for a line around -13, but -17 is still playable at a high unit play. I won't go to 20u, but I will play 10u.
Ole Miss is simply a much better basketball team. Outside of the Villanova game, Ole Miss has blown people out. The guard play is tremendous, and this is a very athletic team that prides itself on pressuring the ball on the defensive end. Southern is having trouble with it's guard play this year, and a loud Tad Smith Coliseum isn't going to be a good place to fix that problem. This is the students last game to be here before teh holidays, so I look for a good showing from them.
Southern is 5-0, but that is very deceptive. Three wins against NAIA or NCAAIII teams, with their best win being a squeaker late against Montana State. They are simply struggling to score, and today will be no different.
Last, this is a HUGE revenge situation for Ole Miss. Southern, who lost its top three scorers from last season, beat the Rebs by 19 last year right after the Rebs had two major injuries hit the team, and we were really struggling to find an identity.
I look for this game to finish somewhere in the 90-60 range, with it being about a 10-12 point game at the half, with the Rebs defense being simply too much in the 2nd half. 10u play on Ole Miss[/COLOR]
