Ole Miss vs. Texas Key Players to Watch
Dailyn Swain, Guard, Texas Longhorns
Dailyn Swain has a chance to improve his draft stock with a strong SEC Tournament performance. The junior guard ranks 115th in the nation with 17.7 points per game, and he ended the season with 11 or more points in seven straight games, including 16 or more in six of those seven contests.
Swain was held to just 7 points on 2 of 5 shooting in the first meeting against Ole Miss, so he’ll be looking for a better showing tonight under the bright lights in Nashville.
Ole Miss vs. Texas Prediction and Pick
These two teams have one thing in common: OVERs. Ole Miss has gone OVER the total in exactly two-thirds of its games, with Texas coming one OVER shy of that at 19-11.
There were 147 points in the first meeting, with the total set at 145.5, and now we get a point lower in the rematch.
Texas scored and allowed 85 or more points in each of its last two games. This should be another high-scoring affair in the SEC Tournament.
Pick: OVER 144.5 (-112)
