Ole Miss Basketball vs. Georgia Bulldogs Predictions, Start Time and TV Channel

Chris Beard and the Ole Miss Rebels will square off against the Georgia Bulldogs on Thursday evening in an SEC Tournament showdown at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville (Tenn.).

After pulling off the Round 1 upset over the Texas Longhorns on Wednesday behind a strong day from Malik Dia, Beard and Co. are off to the second round with Georgia up next on the docket.

For our guys, it’s captain obvious. In a season filled with a lot of adversity — didn’t get a lot of breaks, didn’t create a lot of our own breaks — for these guys to be playing this hard and this connected not only today in the SEC Tournament but really the last couple weeks of the season, I just think it’s a sign of their character and the way they were raised," Beard said on Wednesday.

"Just super appreciative of our players continuing to fight. I thought today was a great example of how our team can play when we play well.

"Everyone ends up in the situation that we’re in now. Survive and advance, must win to extend your season. For a lot of teams, it’ll be next week, those 68 teams fortunate enough to be in the NCAA Tournament. But we’re still alive."

Now, the betting odds are out for a Round 2 clash against Georgia with a prediction locked in with tipoff just hours away.
