What to Know
The Rider Broncs will hit the road for the second straight game as they head to The Pavilion at Ole Miss at 7:30 p.m. ET Tuesday. The Ole Miss Rebels will be strutting in after a victory while the Broncs will be stumbling in from a defeat.
Rider came up short against the South Carolina Gamecocks on Sunday, falling 65-58. Dwight Murray Jr. (15 points) was the top scorer for Rider.
Meanwhile, Ole Miss didn't have too much trouble with the Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils at home this past Friday as they won 73-58. Four players on Ole Miss scored in the double digits: guard Jarkel Joiner (15), center Nysier Brooks (15), guard Luis Rodriguez (11), and forward Robert Allen (11).
Rider have to know they'll be fighting an uphill battle given the 16 point spread they are up against. They hadn't treated bettors all too well in the past (they are 2-6), but they might be worth taking a chance on now after beating the spread two games in a row.
Rider's loss took them down to 3-5 while Ole Miss' win pulled them up to 4-2. In their win, the Rebels relied heavily on Nysier Brooks, who dropped a double-double on 15 points and ten rebounds. the Broncs will need to find a way to minimize his impact if they want to win.
