Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at Mississippi Rebels Prediction
Overall Mississippi’s dossier in route to this NIT Quarterfinal perhaps maybe a bit more of a sell than Georgia Tech’s. The Rebels made their way here taking down two teams they were favored to lose against when they ousted Monmouth and Syracuse from the NIT with authority. In doing so, the Rebels’ stock has gone through the ceiling. They own outright wins as a 1.5 and 7.5-point underdog and now they get a home game against a basketball team that has struggled mightily on the road this season. With this being said, the Jackets are a trendy selection on the Money Line. The public is aware that this team offers value as an outright given the price they are offered at with respect to the fact they own the sixth-ranked defense in America according to Pomeroy analytics. On paper, both teams have played similar schedules in terms of strength and have more or less fostered the same results in tight games. Mississippi is an offense-first team as they rank 275th nationally in scoring defense and 276th in defending the three. They are also 221st nationally in giving up rebounds. All these factors make Ole Miss a tough team to back against a physical and scrappy team like Tech (even if they are in Oxford) when you factor in laying points.

Take Georgia Tech +5
