The Ole Miss Rebels (13-14) prepare to battle the No. 3 Auburn Tigers (24-3) on Wednesday.
Ole Miss snapped a four-game losing streak with their win over Georgia on Saturday. The Rebels look to play the role of spoiler in this game against Auburn.
The Tigers had won two consecutive games before being stunned by Florida by a single point over the weekend. Auburn has now suffered two of their three losses on the season over the past two weeks.
Tip-off is scheduled for 8:30 P.M. EST on Wednesday, February 23rd, at the Auburn Arena in Auburn, AL.

Matchup Information
Looking at the Ole Miss Rebels Stats
The Rebels rebounded from their four-game skid with a dominating 85-68 win over the Bulldogs in Georgia on Saturday.
Ole Miss posted an all-around balanced effort. Tye Fagan scored 20 points to go along with five assists, while Jaemyn Brakerfield added 19, and Austin Crowley scored 18 to go along with five assists and two blocks.
The team shot over 55 percent from the field and just under 43 percent from beyond the arc. The Rebels finished the contest with 18 assists compared to only seven turnovers as well.
This was their best effort in quite some time. However, it is going to take an even better effort if they hope to upset Auburn on the road.
Looking at the Auburn Tigers Stats
The Gators covered the spread as an underdog and won by a single point in their 63-62 victory over Auburn. The Tigers did not play an awful game, but they were simply unable to take care of business against a talented Florida attack.
Jabari Smith led the way for Auburn with 28 points on 7-16 shooting from the field and four three-pointers. He also added seven rebounds in the defeat.
The Tigers performed fairly well on offense from a team perspective. They posted a field goal percentage of 40 percent and a three-point percentage of 35.7 percent.
However, the issues stemmed from an inability to take care of the basketball.
Auburn turned the ball over an embarrassing 17 times. To make matters worse, they only dished out nine total team assists. The fact that they only lost by one point despite those ugly numbers speaks to how deep this team is.
If the Tigers have legitimate aspirations of reaching the No. 1 seed in the rankings, they are going to need to reel in the turnovers moving forward. They will try and turn things around against Ole Miss in this affair.

Rebels at Tigers Prediction
I would not want to be in the Rebel’s shoes on Wednesday night. Auburn is fresh off of one of their most frustrating losses of the season, and their motivation to win is going to be through the roof. The majority of top sportsbooks favor the Tigers by a landslide, and I believe that they will cover with ease.
