• Grambling State has lost the first half in five of its last six night games against non-conference opponents.

Grambling vs Ole Miss Prediction 

Both of these teams were able to score 90 points in their first game of the season, but Ole Miss was able to do it against a D-1 opponent and will be at home for this game. The Rebels rolled to a very easy victory against LIU last time out and they got to the free-throw line early and often. Grambling beat up on a team that I have never heard of before and we can’t really take much from that game, but they did shoot over 51% from the field. Grambling hasn’t had much luck against good teams in the non-conference over the years and I don’t expect this to be any different. Take Ole Miss at home.
