Texas vs Mississippi prediction
Texas vs Mississippi best bet
Texas vs Mississippi best bet: Jordan Pope Over 2.5 3-Pointers (+105)
Of the Mississippi Rebels’ many flaws, giving up looks from deep more often than anyone else in the SEC has been one of the most ruinous. Opponents take 44.2% of their shots from deep against Mississippi, which should set up Texas Longhorns’ shooter Jordan Pope for success tonight.
Texas, as a whole, does not chuck from deep all that often, but Pope does, attempting nearly six 3-pointers per game in SEC play and making 35.8% of them.
Pope has hit at least three 3-pointers in three of his last six games. Tonight’s opportunities should make that four of seven.

Texas vs Mississippi same-game parlay
Neither team should be much trusted against the spread, but it is worth noting that the Longhorns beat the Rebels by 11 about a month ago, as 9.5-point favorites, despite shooting just 5-of-16 from deep and coughing up the ball twice more than Mississippi did. Improving on the simplest things should propel Texas to an easy win today.
