Ole Miss-Alabama Prediction

This should be a fierce battle. Ole Miss has the full attention of the SEC, and the Rebels will not sneak up on the conference over these next several weeks. Their time spent flying under the radar is over. Alabama is an exasperating team but a talented one. The Crimson Tide were good enough to beat Kentucky and nearly upset Tennessee, but they are erratic enough that they can lose at home to Texas A&M. A good question: Which Ole Miss team will show up? A better question: Which Alabama team will show up? Ultimately, Alabama needs to mentally regroup from the narrow loss in Knoxville. The Crimson Tide need to regather themselves and play with that same level of energy. If they do, they will win… but can you trust Bama hoops? Ole Miss 78, Alabama 76. (Matt Zemek)

Game time: 9 ET, 8 CT, on ESPNU
