Ole Miss returns home after losing consecutive games on the road by a total of only six points. The Rebels are 10-9 on the season but had a Breein Tyree game-winner not rattled around the rim in College Station, the entire tone of the season is different.
Not so.
Alabama enters the game on a four game wining streak and a 5-2 conference record. However, looks can be deceiving as both losses for the Tide came on the road. Avery Johnson’s team has played their last two games without all-everything guard Collin Sexton but that didn’t seem to bother them in beating in-state rival Auburn a week ago and Mississippi State last Saturday.
