I’m on North Carolina Moneyline in this matchup vs the Ole Miss Rebels for these reasons:

- UNC have the edge in rebounding by a large margin, averaging 33 offensively, compared to Ole Miss 29 offensively. This specific stat matters because Ole Miss are not going to win a high scoring battle if they are allowing second chance points to a UNC team that shoot well from 3pt range and can pass the ball well off rebounds. This is what we saw in the close loss they took to Duke in the ACC tournament.

- Before the SEC tournament, the Ole Miss Rebels were 2-4. That’s not momentum you want to see in the first round of this tournament, and UNC are coming in hot, and have a chip on their shoulders to prove the league wrong for belittling their tough season and saying that they shouldn’t be in the tournament at all.
