Ole Miss vs. Georgia Prediction, Odds for SEC Tournament 2nd Round

The Ole Miss Rebels went just 4-14 in SEC play this season, but that didn't matter when they upset the Texas Longhorns in the first round of the SEC Tournament. Now, they'll try to pull off a second straight upset when they take on the Georgia Bulldogs in the second round on Thursday night.

Let's dive into the odds and my best bet for this SEC showdown.

Ole Miss vs. Georgia Key Player to Watch

Jeremiah Wilkinson, G - Georgia Bulldogs

Jeremiah Wilkinson is the best scorer on this Georgia team, averaging 17.3 points per game, but he also makes his presence felt on defense, leading the team in steals with 1.7. He scored a blistering 32 points in Georgia's regular-season meeting with Ole Miss, a season-high for him. If he puts up another similar performance tonight, the Bulldogs are going to be in a great spot to win this game.

Ole Miss vs. Georgia Prediction and Pick

Ole Miss did a good job upsetting Texas yesterday, but the Rebels are in over their head in this game. They rank just 231st in effective field goal percentage and 199th in defensive efficiency. By comparison, Georgia ranks 43rd and 109th in those two metrics.

It's also worth noting that Ole Miss primarily sticks to two-point shots, but Georgia does a great job of defending the interior, keeping teams to shooting just 50% from two-point range.

I'm going to back Georgia to win and cover in this second round showdown.

Pick: Georgia -6 (-110)
