Tuesday: 1-1 (-.5*)
YTD: 17-10 (+29.2*)
10* Florida St -11
I could not believe this line when I first saw it. Still can't. There is no way Ole Miss can keep up with FSU in Tallassee. My only reservation is that the best player on the floor will probably be the Rebs' Justin Reed, a 6-8 PF who is a 4th year starter and leads the Rebels in scoring and rebounding. He will be a factor. Other than him, Ole Miss is over-matched. Rebs' two starting guards are true freshmen, and the Noles senior duo of Tim Picket and Nate Johnson will pick their pockets clean. Only other threat Rebels have is senior 6-7 wingman Aaron Harper who, when hot, is one of the best 3-point shooters in the land. If he's not hot, though, he can get lost. FSU, meanwhile, have talent and experience at forwards with Anthony Richardson and Michael Joiner. Ole Miss has to use a 6-6 junior college transfer at center. Noles have a couple of more experienced guys to plug the middle. FSU is an experienced and talented group, and have a top-rated recruiting class itching for action and providing strong depth. Ole Miss has 6 new players on the team, and have not exactly become a cohesive unit on either end of the floor. Only way Noles could possibly lose would be if they came out flat and Reed and Harper both had outstanding games for the Rebs. What I think will happen is that Florida St will win this one by 20 easily.
Probably more games later.
