Ole Miss-Auburn Prediction

The one relatively impressive road game the Ole Miss Rebels have played this SEC season was at Mississippi State. That win got the Rebels noticed and reaffirmed their strong start to SEC play in the first half of January. Now the Rebels need to prove that they can win road games against good SEC teams outside the state of Mississippi. This road game at Auburn qualifies. Auburn did lose at LSU on Saturday; the Tigers are also a team with a bad road track record this season and a gleaming home-court profile. This game is in Auburn Arena, so everything you would naturally assume about this matchup is likely to be upheld. Moreover, Auburn recalls the loss it absorbed to the Rebels in Oxford a month ago. Revenge, home-road splits, the works – everything points toward Auburn winning this contest. Auburn 80, Ole Miss 73. (Matt Zemek)
