Ole Miss vs. Tennessee Key Player to Watch
- Ja'Kobi Gillespie, G - Tennessee Volunteers
Ja'Kobi Gillespie is the heart and soul of this Tennessee team. He's leading the team in points, averaging 18.6, while also racking up 2.9 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.6 steals. If there's one area he could improve in, it'd be his three point shooting. He's average just 34.9% from beyond the arc. He has scored 20+ points in three of his last four games.
Ole Miss vs. Tennessee Prediction and Pick
The interior of both teams is what's going to be the difference-maker in this game. Both teams keep the majority of its shots to two-point range, but they also both defend that area of the court well. They rank 77th and 82nd in opponent two-point field goal percentage, keeping teams to shooting less than 49% from two-point range.
The two teams also rank outside the top 100 in possessions per game, including Ole Miss, which ranks 237th, averaging just 70.0. The slow pace should contribute to this being a low-scoring affair.
