COLLEGE BASKETBALL — February 27

OLE MISS at ALABAMA
(Alabama -1.5) — [private] Neither team has been a “go-with” lately, but Ole Miss is the team that can still get itself back in the picture for NCAA tournament play. The Rebels scored a big win this past Wednesday against Auburn, and in that game they exhibited something ‘Bama doesn’t necessarily have, which is the explosiveness to come from way back and win. They trailed by 14 points in the second half against Auburn before the surge, and came back from 23 down in the previous meeting with the Tide, back in Oxford. Of course, a lot of it’s hit-or-miss for the Rebels, but they will challenge Alabama’s perimeter defense with three different guards who can bomb from downtown.

THE PLAY: OLE MISS +1.5 **
