The Cinderella of the SEC Tournament takes on Georgia in the second round, and according to ESPN Analytics, this could be the end of the run.
The Ole Miss Rebels pulled off the upset, taking down the Texas Longhorns in the first round of the SEC Tournament 76-66. After winning just 4 regular-season games in the SEC, the Rebels have a chance to knock off the 22-9 Georgia Bulldogs again.
Ole Miss came into the tournament losing 12 of its last 13 games. This season has been one to forget, and many thought it would be over after the first round. However, Malik Dia had other plans as he led the Rebels to victory with 23 points against Texas.
On the other side, Georgia ended its season on a very different path. The Bulldogs won 5 of their last 6 games and earned a first-round bye in the SEC Tournament. These teams have faced each other earlier this season. Ole Miss pulled off the upset and won 97-95.
However, ESPN Analytics isn’t giving the Rebels much of a shot to pull off the upset again, as they have just a 32.2% chance of coming out victorious. Instead, ESPN expects the Bulldogs to handle business and move on to take on Alabama in the quarterfinals.
According to the latest Kalshi odds, Georgia has about a 70% chance to win:
Tip-off between Ole Miss and Georgia is set for 7 p.m. EST on Thursday.
