Ole Miss vs Purdue Prediction
Ole Miss comes into this game trying to stay undefeated on the season, but this will be their first real test of the year. The Rebels have beaten up pretty below-average teams to start the season, and they are only shooting 44% from the field. Purdue does have one loss on the season against Marquette, but they are shooting about 50% so far this year. I think Purdue is the way better team in this matchup and I like them to pull away in this game.
