Ole Miss vs. Kentucky CBB Prediction:
Both teams look to get back in the win column on Tuesday night.
Take the Rebels. Kentucky just can’t be trusted at the moment. They have a tremendous amount of talent, however they are struggling. They are allowing way too many open buckets and are having to score nearly 100 points to win games, which is not a recipe for success. Kentucky likely finds a way to win this game, but 8.5 points is too many here to pass up with a solid Rebels team.
