Will Ole Miss Rebels Overcome the Missouri Tigers in Columbia?
As the Ole Miss Rebels prepare to face the Missouri Tigers at Mizzou Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent momentum. The Rebels have shown a mixed bag of performances in their last few outings, with a notable victory against the Tigers and a close game against the 15th-ranked Gamecocks.
In their previous encounter with the Tigers, Ole Miss showcased an impressive second-half surge, scoring 49 points to secure a win. Their three-point shooting was particularly lethal, hitting 52 percent from beyond the arc. However, turnovers were an issue as they gave up possession 13 times.
The following game saw them fall short against Kentucky's Wildcats despite another strong showing from three-point range and fast break points. The Rebels' defense managed to block six shots but struggled with free throw accuracy at only 56 percent.
Most recently, in a tight contest with South Carolina's Gamecocks, Ole Miss displayed efficient field goal shooting at 51 percent and improved ball handling with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.63. Yet again, they demonstrated resilience in paint scoring and defensive rebounds but fell just short of victory.
As they head into enemy territory on March 3rd at Mizzou Arena – known for its raucous atmosphere – maintaining composure will be key for Ole Miss. Fans can expect to see whether their team can capitalize on fast break opportunities while tightening up defense against Missouri's offensive threats.
The upcoming clash promises excitement and is set to test whether Ole Miss can continue improving its assist-to-turnover ratio while keeping personal fouls in check. With both teams familiar with each other’s playstyles from past encounters this season could provide an edge for either side.
