South Carolina vs Ole Miss Prediction 2/12/25 College Basketball Picks Today

In this article, we will formulate a South Carolina vs Ole Miss Prediction for this college basketball game on Wednesday, February 12th, at the Colonial Life Arena. Let’s take a look at the South Carolina Gamecocks vs Ole Miss Rebels Pick. 

Can Ole Miss Win a Third Straight Game?

Ole Miss suddenly has all kinds of confidence, and they have won two straight games. Two games ago against Kentucky, Ole Miss scored 98 points on the way to the victory. In the last game against LSU, they went on the road and were able to secure a 72-70 victory. At halftime, they were down, but in the second half, they scored 39 points, and that was enough to pick up the victory. Guard Dre Davis had a strong game, putting up 22 points and seven rebounds. There were four different players that put up at least 10 points.

Ole Miss sits with an 18-6 record overall, and they have gone 14-10 against the spread. Ole Miss is averaging 78.3 points while their defense is giving up 68.5 points per game. The offense is ranked 86th in the league and they have gone 14-10 against the spread. Away from home, they have gone 4-3 straight up. Sean Pedulla is averaging 15 points while shooting 44.8 percent from the field.  After this game, Ole Miss will meet Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, Auburn, and Oklahoma. 

Why Ole Miss Will Beat South Carolina

• South Carolina has lost each of its last 11 games against Conference opponents.
• Ole Miss has won 16 of its last 17 games against non-AP-ranked opponents.
• Ole Miss has won the first half in seven of its last nine games against South Carolina.

Big Test for South Carolina

South Carolina has struggled heading into this game but this is a big test for them. South Carolina has lost 10 games in a row, and a lot of them haven’t been all that close. In the last game against Kentucky, South Carolina scored 57 points, but the defense gave up 80 points, leading to the blowout. South Carolina shot only 32.8 percent from the field and 18.2 percent from behind the three-point line. Collin Murray-Boyles was the top player for South Carolina putting up 14 points, eight rebounds, and one assist. 

Overall, the Gamecocks have a 10-13 record, and they have gone 10-12 against the spread. South Carolina is averaging 69.9 points, while their defense is giving up 69.7 points per game. The offense is ranked 289th in the league, while the defense is ranked 115th. The defense overall for this team hasn’t been awful, but the lack of playing any sort of defense has been a major problem.  

South Carolina vs Ole Miss Prediction

I am not even concerned that Ole Miss is playing on the road; they are going to have no issue getting the job done in this game. This South Carolina offense just isn’t that good, and overall, they are averaging only 69.9 points per game. Compare that to Ole Miss, who averages 78.3 points per game. South Carolina is going to have no answer with the defense, and Ole Miss is going to cruise here. Back Ole Miss against the spread.
