Cal State Bakersfield vs Ole Miss Prediction

I’ll stick with Ole Miss. The Rebels played fairly well against Memphis this week despite getting outscored 30-22 in the paint. Ole Miss shot a nice 51.9 percent from the field and a stellar 61.5 percent from 3-point range (8-of-13) but also missed 12 free throws (21-of-33 for 63.6 percent) along the way. The Rebels are scoring great this year with 83 or more points in all three games so far. I like Ole Miss to continue that run and power out a cover versus CSU Bakersfield in this matchup.
