Mississippi vs Georgia best bet
Mississippi vs Georgia best bet: Kanon Catchings Over 2.5 threes (-105)
The Mississippi Rebels survived the first round of the SEC Tournament despite their most ruinous flaw proving true. Conference opponents take 44.2% of their shots from deep against Mississippi, a rate Texas fell short of on Wednesday, but not by much, 37% of its shots coming from beyond the arc.
The Longhorns hit only 7-of-20, but Jordan Pope went 4-of-9.
The Georgia Bulldogs shoot from deep 43% of the time, No. 3 in the SEC, led by forward Kanon Catchings, who takes six per game and makes 45.4% of them. The Rebels will let him shoot, though they shouldn’t.
