The Ole Miss Rebels and the Auburn Tigers meet Wednesday in college basketball action from Auburn Arena. Here’s an Auburn vs Ole Miss prediction. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best Auburn vs Ole Miss pick.

Ole Miss Rebels Betting Preview

The Rebels have really only had one or two bad runs so far this year—and they’ve been brief. Otherwise, it’s been a pretty good run for Ole Miss. During a 15-2 opening run, the Rebels managed to dispatch Long Island University, Grambling, South Alabama, Colorado State, Oral Roberts, BYU, Louisville, Lindenwood, Southern Miss, Southern, Queens U, Georgia, Arkansas, LSU and Alabama. A 1-4 run came next with a lone win over Texas amid losses to Mississippi State, Texas A&M, Missouri, and Auburn. After wins over Kentucky, LSU, and South Carolina, Ole Miss fell versus Mississippi State and Vanderbilt on the way to a 19-8 overall run through their first 27 games of the season so far.

In the Vanderbilt matchup back on Saturday, the Rebels came out of halftime sporting a 41-33 deficit. Ole Miss got better from there on a 39-36 run but still lost 77-72 in the end. Leading the team in the defeat was Malik Dia with 22 points, seven boards, two blocks, one assist, and one steal. Sean Pedulla added 21 points with six boards and four assists with one steal, while Jaylen Murray chipped in on 10 points, three rebounds, five assists, and two steals. The only bench points (eight) came from Jaemyn Brakefield alongside his six rebounds in 26 minutes.

Auburn Tigers Betting Preview

Over on the Auburn side, they’ve only got two blemishes on the card so far this year. The Tigers opened on a nice 21-1 run with a lone loss to Duke. Among wins over Vermont, Houston, Kent State, North Alabama, Iowa State, North Carolina, Memphis, Richmond, Ohio State, Georgia State, Purdue, Monmouth, Missouri, Texas, South Carolina, Mississippi State, Georgia, Tennessee, LSU and Ole Miss. After another loss to Florida on February 8, the Tigers have since taken out Vanderbilt, Alabama, Arkansas, and Georgia. That gives Auburn a 25-2 overall record through 27 games so far this season.

Matched up against Georgia in their most recent outing, the Tigers held a 29-24 edge in the first half. Auburn hit a 53-46 run the rest of the way and powered out the win 82-70 in the end. Johni Broome led the team on his 31 points with 14 rebounds, four assists, and two blocks. Denver Jones added 17 points with one assist, while both Chad Baker-Mazara (four assists; three rebounds) and Miles Kelly (eight rebounds; two assists) each chipped in 11 points apiece. Chaney Johnson added four points off the bench as well.

Auburn vs Ole Miss Prediction

I may take a stab at Ole Miss here. The Rebels will certainly need to play their best in order to be competitive though, and coming off a pair of losses that’s admittedly a lot to ask. Ole Miss shot a tepid 41.7 percent from the field in their latest loss to Vanderbilt, getting out-rebounded 37-30 along the way. The good news is that the Rebels were great from the line (13-of-15 for 86.7 percent) and they scored 21 points off 13 Vanderbilt turnovers. Still, Ole Miss has given up a combined 158 points across their last two games and they’re about to face a high-scoring Tigers offense.

The last time these teams saw each other back on February 1, Auburn secured a 92-82 win on the road. Ole Miss didn’t play too badly, shooting 46.4 percent from the field. The Rebels just couldn’t keep up with the Tigers’ pace though, as Auburn shot 48.4 percent with a 41-30 rebounding edge. I like Ole Miss to get in there for a cover during the rematch if all goes well, though.
