Ole Miss Rebels Game Notes
Rebels guard Matthew Murrell is questionable for Saturday’s game with an undisclosed injury. Murrell is averaging 11.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.8 steals per game this season. Senior guard Davon Barnes would likely take on a larger role if Murrell is unable to play on Saturday.
Ole Miss forward Jaemyn Brakefield was sensational in his team’s 78-76 upset win over Tennessee on Wednesday. In that contest, the 6’8” senior recorded 19 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists in 24 minutes off the bench. Brakefield shot 8 of 9 from the floor and 3 of 3 from the foul line in the win.

Gators forward Alex Condon was exemplary in his team’s 99-94 win over Alabama on Wednesday night. In 30 minutes, the 6’11” sophomore logged 27 points, 10 rebounds, an assist, and 2 blocks. Condon shot 9 of 16 from the field and 2 of 4 from long distance in the victory.

Ole Miss vs. Florida CBB Prediction:
Florida has been excellent against the number all season in a variety of different scenarios. The Gators are 17-8 ATS after a win and 11-4 ATS as a home favorite this season. What’s more, Florida is 12-5 ATS in conference games and 11-4 ATS as the home team this year. The Gators are an incredible 19-6 ATS as a favorite this season. Florida’s 19 ATS wins as a favorite is tied for the most in the nation this year with VCU and Duke. It’s also worth noting that the Gators are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall. They have been money against the number all season, so I’m going to take them in their regular season finale on Saturday. I’m laying the 11.5 points with Florida at Bovada.lv.
