Kentucky vs Ole Miss Game Preview
Why Ole Miss Will Win
The Rebels have lost six of their last seven games, but they’re battling.

What’s Going To Happen
It’s Kentucky’s final home game of the year, and it’s not going to come out light.

Kentucky will hit enough threes to open it up to stay alive for the SEC regular season title.
