Mississippi played a thriller against Texas Tech in their last game, eventually winning 90-87 in double overtime.

a frenetic pace, and it typically catches unfamiliar teams off guard. The Rebels are 8-4 ATS in non-conference games this season.
The Rebels are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games overall. The over is 3-1-1 in the Rebels last 5 neutral site games. Guard Will Bogan is questionable with a hand injury tonight.
