It’s possible that Ole Miss runs out of gas with this being their fourth game in four days. But, the Rebels are playing their best basketball of the season despite a 4-14 SU conference record. They’re also the first team since Auburn in 2015 to win three straight to advance to the SEC semi’s. The Razorbacks are by far the more talented and physical team, pushing the pace. However, if Ole Miss was able to battle with the Crimson Tide’s pace then they should be ready for this one too. This is Ole Miss' season on the line so they should give it all they got.
It might seem odd to play against a team receiving nearly double digits that has not trailed in the entire SEC Tournament. The thinking is, Ole Miss could run out of petrol here against a foe that plays fast enough to average 90 ppg (fourth most in Divison 1). The Rebels dropped a seven-pointer to the Razorbacks at home, and this will feel like more of an away game with more Arkansas fans in the building. Darius Acuff returned from a brief injury layoff to lead the Razorbacks over pesky Oklahoma on Friday with 37 points. Weary Ole Miss will be hard-pressed to lower that output substantially.
