Current Records: Mississippi Valley State 0-2; Ole Miss 3-2
What to Know
The Ole Miss Rebels will look to defend their home court Friday against the Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils at 4 p.m. ET. The Rebels have the odds in their favor, so they'll need to guard against complacency.
Ole Miss came up short against the Boise State Broncos on Sunday, falling 60-50. Guard Jarkel Joiner had a pretty forgettable game, finishing with ten points on 4-for-10 shooting in his 35 minutes on the court.
Meanwhile, Mississippi Valley State was expected to have a tough go of it two weeks ago, and, well, they did. Things couldn't have gone much worse for them as they lost 95-66 to the California Baptist Lancers.
This next contest looks promising for the Rebels, who are favored by a full 41.5 points. Those burned by picking them against the spread on Sunday might want to keep in mind that the squad has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.
Both of these teams will be looking to put their recent losses behind them and walk away with a victory. We'll see which team satisfies their hunger and which team leaves with an empty stomach.
