However, Ole Miss is rolling with wins in 9 of their last 10 games and covers in 7 of their last 8 games. The Queens Royals don’t shoot the ball well enough to keep up with Ole Miss, and haven’t faced a team this talented. We’ve seen BYU and Utah mop the floor with Queens. Give me Ole Miss in a beat down at home.
