The House of Blue

Ole Miss----81 UK----70

I'm thinking this one will be closer as well. Not sure what my prediction will be yet.

It depends on the refs calling fouls on the moving screens that Mississippi sets.

Mississippi 73
UK 68

UK 70
Ole Miss 65
We double team Henderson.

82-69.. unfortunately this one goes to Ole Miss..
