The Ole Miss Rebels truly do not have enough good games under their belt, and it may cost them to come to SEC play. They do have a good game against Memphis the week before the conference schedule, but as of now, all their wins have come against teams ranked lower than 40 on the KenPom standings.

What a rollercoaster the Razorbacks have been. They have been in battles every game, no matter their opponent. They need to pick up some more quality wins this season to make a good case for a high seed in the tournament. They have a win over Michigan but the other opportunities have slipped through their fingers.
