Our Ole Miss Rebels vs Michigan State Spartans Prediction
While Michigan State has had success so far in this tournament, their slow starts in the first two rounds could be their downfall in this game. The Spartans were only beating Bryant by five at halftime in the first round and were losing by two to New Mexico at halftime in the second round.
They cannot afford to do this against Ole Miss in the Sweet 16 as the Rebels have been shooting the ball lights out. They are averaging 81 points per game through the first two rounds, while their defense is allowing an average of 71 points per game.
Based on the slow starts we have seen from Michigan State and the hot shooting from Ole Miss, our Ole Miss Rebels vs Michigan State Spartans prediction is Ole Miss alternate spread +3.5.Jackpot Pools
