Saturday's games
Ole Miss Rebels at Kentucky Wildcats (-9.5)
Schultz: Kentucky continues to roll, having won seven of its past eight thanks to the dynamic scoring of freshman blue-chipper Tyrese Maxey -- a future lottery pick -- as well as 6-foot-11 center Nick Richards, who has made major strides on both sides of the ball. The junior has upped his scoring this season from 4.0 to 14.5 PPG and his rebounding from 3.3 to 8.2 RPG, while drastically increasing his overall activity in the paint.
We can't sleep on Immanuel Quickley, though. After a sluggish start to his sophomore season, "Quick" has been lethal of late, reaching double figures in 13 straight -- averaging 17.8 points per game -- while shooting nearly 47% from deep. As a result, look for BBN to continue its dominance over Ole Miss, extending its winning streak to 11 over the Rebels with a blowout victory at Rupp.
