Samford @ Ole Miss

Current Records: Samford 9-2; Ole Miss 8-3

What to Know

The Samford Bulldogs have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. They and the Ole Miss Rebels will compete for holiday cheer at 4 p.m. ET Tuesday at The Pavilion at Ole Miss.

The Bulldogs escaped with a win this past Saturday against the Kennesaw State Owls by the margin of a single free throw, 85-84.

Meanwhile, Ole Miss picked up a 76-68 victory over the Dayton Flyers this past Saturday. Ole Miss' center Nysier Brooks was one of the most active players for the squad, posting a double-double on 16 points and 11 boards.

Samford have to know they'll be fighting an uphill battle given the 14 point spread they are up against. Now might not be the best time to take Samford against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past two consecutive games.

Their wins bumped Samford to 9-2 and Ole Miss to 8-3. We'll see which team can carry over their success and which team inevitably falls when the Bulldogs and the Rebels clash.
