Ole Miss Rebels

The Rebels 20-12 (10-8) are the South Regional representatives for this year’s tournament. To be honest, they haven’t been hot recently, getting eliminated by Alabama in the second round of the SEC Tournament.  They have lost five of their last seven, with those wins being up against bottom-feeding SEC teams such as Missouri and Georgia by a combined six points. Their losses weren’t even quality losses, with two of them(not counting Alabama) being against teams not in the tournament, Arkansas and South Carolina.

They will be facing the Oklahoma Sooners in the first-round. This team is also not hot, losing three of their last five including one to West Virginia, but they did beat Kansas in one of those two wins. This is one of the most inconsistent teams in the Tournament, and that makes them dangerous as we do not know which Oklahoma shows up, will it be the one that beats Kansas or the one that gets destroyed by Kanas State? Nobody will know until five minutes into the game and if they bring the good version of themselves, I could see Ole Miss losing by at least 10.

The winner of this will most likely face Virginia(unless they lose to a 16-seed again). Virginia will be looking for redemption from their massive choke job last year, losing in the first round after being a championship favorite. I don’t see either team winning against this Cavalier squad that’s probably the best team in the country right now that has the name of Cavaliers.

Decision: Sell
