Texas A&M is entering this game with a 14-4 record overall, a 3-2 record in conference games, and they are 1-2 in their road games this season where they will be in this game.

Ole Miss is entering this game with a 15-3 record overall, a 4-1 conference record, and they are 9-0 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming off a loss against the Mississippi State Bulldogs in their last game. Jaemyn Brakefield led the team in points in that game with 20 while Sean Pedulla was next on the team with 18.

The current betting odds have Ole Miss listed as a 3.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Ole Miss has looked great in their games this season with their 15-3 record overall and their 4-1 conference record which has them right near the top of the SEC. They have also looked great on their home court this year with their 9-0 home record. Meanwhile, Texas A&M has looked great in their games this season with their 14-4 record overall, but their 3-2 conference record has them right in the middle of the SEC. They are coming off a win over LSU in their last one, but none of their 3 wins in the SEC have come against ranked opponents and they haven't been great in their road games so far, going 1-2 in those. Texas A&M just hasn't looked as good when they have had to face stronger opponents in their conference and Ole Miss has been rolling over teams lately. Ole Miss is also coming off a really tight loss on the road against their rival Mississippi State so they are going to be looking to bounce back in a big way at home after losing their first conference game. Ole Miss will play this game like they have something to prove after that loss to Mississippi State and Texas A&M will continue to struggle on the road against a stronger opponent in the conference. The best way to place a bet here is on Ole Miss to cover the spread in this game.

“He has made progress since the Sunday after Texas, but it’s been marginal relative to the protocol we were following. He was able to practice completely yesterday and went through an evaluation.” - Buzz Williams on Wade Taylor returning to the lineup.

“It was a good college basketball game. Congratulate (State head coach Chris) Jans on those guys protecting home court. The start of the game for us was just unacceptable. You can’t dig a hole like that the first eight minutes of the game, the first two four-minute periods in the 40-minute game.” - Chris Beard after his team’s loss against Mississippi State in their last game.
