Ole Miss vs. St. John’s Pick
Point Spread Pick for Ole Miss at St. John’s
- St. John’s -12.5 (4 units)
Both teams have struggled against power conference teams this year, going a combined 2-6. The Red Storm have the more talented roster and are particularly tough at home. They’ll take advantage of the glass, ranked 43rd in the country in rebounding. The Rebels are more of a perimeter team and aren’t particularly stout in the paint. That will leave them vulnerable to the tenacious offensive rebounding of the Red Storm. With a distinct rebounding advantage, the Red Storm will be able to get out and run. They are 26th in the country in pace of play, and they’ll jump out and run against a Rebels team that ranks just 193rd in pace of play.
Take the Red Storm -12.5
Over/Under Pick for Ole Miss at St. John’s
- Over 154.5 (4 units)
St. John’s has gone over this total in four of its last five games. They will get plenty of second-chance opportunities against Ole Miss, thanks to a distinct advantage on the glass. The best bet for the Rebels to stay in the game is from beyond the arc. The Rebels are 49th in the country in 3-point shooting and typically favor the perimeter over the paint. That should create more points for the Rebels.
Take the over.
