Total: 142.00 | -107.00 Under
Result: Win
#721/722 ASA PLAY ON 8* Under 142 Points – Ole Miss @ Georgia, Saturday at 6 PM ET - These two met a few weeks ago and the total was set at 147. They combined to scored 152 points yet this number is set lower at 142.5. Hmm… In the first meeting these two team shot lights out combining to make 58 of their 107 shots (54.2%) and they made over 43% of their 3 points attempts. Even with that, the game was sitting at 132 total points with 3:30 remaining and they scored a ridiculous 20 points to close it out. At half the game was 29-28 and they went crazy scoring 95 points in the 2nd half. The hot shooting was definitely out of character for these two teams as they rank 12th and 13th in SEC play in offensive efficiency. They are also both poor 3-point shooting teams ranking 281st and 322nd nationally in that category. Neither team gets to the line very often but if they do they shoot 67% and 66% from the stripe. UGA want to play fast but Ole Miss plays very slow and we expect them to control the tempo here as they did in the first game which was slow paced as they combined for just 107 shots as we mentioned above. We just don’t see any way these two teams shoot as well as they did in the first meeting. Because Ole Miss often controls the tempo and limits possessions, their games are mainly low scoring. Their games this season average 131 total points and they have gone UNDER the total in 13 of their 15 games this season. The Rebels are also 21-5 to the UNDER their last 26 road games dating back to last season. Neither team reaches the 70’s here and we grab the UNDER.
