🏀 Michigan State vs. Ole Miss prediction, 7:09 p.m. ET (CBS), South Region

🖥️ AI score prediction: Michigan State 75, Ole Miss 64

  • Michigan State usually has a superior defense, and the Spartans’ ability to shut down key scorers from Ole Miss will likely be a decisive factor.

🏀 Tennessee vs. Kentucky prediction, 7:39 p.m. ET (TBS/truTV), Midwest Region

🖥️ AI score prediction: Tennessee 72, Kentucky 68

  • Tennessee's perimeter defense will be crucial: The Vols rank among the nation’s top 15 in defensive efficiency, particularly in guarding the 3-point line. With Kentucky missing key perimeter players (Robinson and Kriisa), expect Tennessee to limit outside scoring.
  • Zakai Zeigler’s playmaking X-factor: Zeigler’s recent 12-assist, 0-turnover performance highlights his elite ball distribution. His ability to create open looks and control the tempo gives Tennessee an edge.
  • Kentucky's frontcourt could pose problems: Despite their guard injuries, Kentucky’s rebounding advantage (top 10 in offensive boards per game) should keep them competitive. They’ll rely heavily on inside scoring to offset their limited backcourt depth.
