Ole Miss' Unimpressive March Madness Journey and Betting Odds
Anticipating the Madness of College Basketball in 2025: Analyzing the Betting Scenarios for the Ole Miss Rebels
Hailing from Oxford, Mississippi, the Ole Miss Rebels are gearing up for their fourth NCAA Tournament appearance since 2003. However, their March Madness record leaves much to be desired. In their three prior appearances, they've exited in the first and second rounds twice, with their longest run reaching the Sweet 16.
With +10000 odds to win the tournament overall and +2000 odds to make it to the Final Four, the team could be eyeing a fresh success story in the 2025 tournament. Their odds mirrors those from their last three tournaments, where they consistently exceeded +10000.
Against the spread, Ole Miss has been somewhat average, holding a 16-16-1 record, with a slight +0.2 cover margin on a +5.5 winning margin average. On the point total, they've managed a 17-16 record, favoring going over in points, especially in their recent games with a 9-3 trending in their last 12 games.
Betting Restrictions in Mississippi and Wisconsin
College sports betting isn't a walk in the park, even for fans in Mississippi and Wisconsin, where the Rebels are set to compete in the first two rounds. Here, betting online is restricted and only internationally-based online sportsbooks that have served Mississippi and Wisconsin residents for over a decade can be leveraged.
It's a double whammy when it comes to betting on Ole Miss games, as there are further restrictions. For instance, in-person betting is the only option available in Mississippi, while in Wisconsin, betting on in-state college teams is a no-go.
