Junior guard Brandon Murray saw a significant drop in his production throughout the season. He suffered a right shoulder injury. However, he has been cleared to play and is doing well. He has returned to the court and played in 20 games this season.

The Rebels guard has been shooting well from 3-point range with 37.5% this season. However, he is playing 20.2 minutes per game, more than 14 minutes less than a year ago, and is adjusting to this role.

Ole Miss vs. Georgia: Who will win?

The Georgia Bulldogs and the Ole Miss Rebels are like one another regarding the betting odds, as ESPN Bet has the Bulldogs as a 2.5-point home favorite. However, there is a reason why Ole Miss has 20 wins and tries to climb up the SEC rankings for the postseason.

Matthew Murrell has been the best offensive threat throughout the year and should do well with 17.0 points per game. These teams are statistically similar, so go with the Rebels to cover the spread in this matchup.
