What to Know

The Ole Miss Rebels have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the Auburn Tigers and are hoping to record their first win since Feb. 6 of 2021. Ole Miss and Auburn will face off in an SEC battle at 9 p.m. ET Wednesday at Neville Arena. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

The Rebels came up short against the Mississippi State Bulldogs this past Saturday, falling 69-61. Forward Jaemyn Brakefield put forth a good effort for the losing side as he had 20 points along with eight rebounds.

Meanwhile, Auburn was close but no cigar this past Saturday as they fell 67-65 to the Vanderbilt Commodores. Guard Wendell Green Jr. had a rough night: he played for 30 minutes but put up just five points on 2-for-14 shooting.

Ole Miss is the clear underdog, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them since the team is 2-9 ATS when expected to lose.

The losses put Ole Miss at 10-17 and the Tigers at 18-9. A couple stats to keep an eye on: The Rebels have only been able to knock down 41.80% percent of their shots, which is the 35th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. Auburn's defense has more to brag about, as they they have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 39.20%, which places them 11th in college basketball. So the cards are definitely stacked in their favor.
