Can Ole Miss Rebels Outmaneuver Missouri Tigers at Mizzou Arena?
As the Ole Miss Rebels prepare to face off against the Missouri Tigers, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain the momentum from their recent victory. The upcoming clash is set for Mizzou Arena, a venue where home-court advantage will be in full force for the Tigers.
The Rebels come into this game with a mixed bag of performances. Their latest outing was a hard-fought win against the Florida Gators, where they showcased resilience and an ability to capitalize on turnovers, scoring 25 points off them. They also dominated on rebounds with 55 in total and showed strength inside with 38 points in paint.
However, consistency has been an issue for Ole Miss. In their game prior to Florida's victory, they suffered a defeat at home against Texas A&M Aggies with only 53 points scored – a stark contrast to their offensive output against the Gators. Their field goal percentage stood at just 36 percent and free throws were made at a rate of only 57 percent.
The most concerning trend has been turnovers; despite winning their last game, they gave up possession 24 times. This is something that needs immediate attention as it could prove costly especially when playing away from home.
Defensively, there's room for optimism as they've shown capability in blocking shots and stealing possession but these efforts need to be part of a more cohesive team performance if they are to overcome Missouri Tigers on their own turf.
As we look ahead to this matchup, fans should watch closely how Ole Miss handles pressure and whether they can improve upon their assist-to-turnover ratio which was just under one-third in their last win.
The action unfolds on February 27th at Mizzou Arena in Columbia – an environment known for its intense atmosphere that could influence gameplay significantly. Fans won't want to miss this encounter and can catch all the action live as both teams vie for supremacy on court.
