Ole Miss vs Stanford Prediction & Pick

It's safe to say the Rebels are playing their best basketball of the season when it matters the most. Ole Miss beat a ranked opponent for the first time this season on Friday night and has now emerged victorious in six of its last nine games. It is averaging a reliable 69.6 points per game on the year, too.

The problem for the Rebels is they now have to face one of the best teams in basketball. Stanford has been steamrolling the competition this season as it ranks sixth with an average scoring margin of +18.6. The Cardinal also rank fifth in rebounds per game (45.9), so expect them to control the boards.

Look for Cameron Brink (14.9 points & 9.5 rebounds per game) to led her squad to a victory here.

Final Score Prediction: Ole Miss: 56 | Stanford: 72

Ole Miss vs Stanford Best Bet

It's important to remember that this game is being played in Maples Pavilion, where head coach Tara VanDerveer's team owns a 17-1 record. Stanford has already beaten No. 16-ranked Creighton and No. 14-ranked UCLA by at least 13 points this year. They have the talent to beat Ole Miss in a similar fashion.

This game may be close at halftime, but look for Stanford to assert its dominance and pull away late.

Bet: Stanford Cardinal -12.5 (-110)
