Ole Miss (2-0) hosts Southeastern Louisiana (1-1) on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. at the Sandy and John Black Pavilion (SECN+, Ole Miss Radio Network). The Rebels have opened with consecutive 90-point games, the first time they have done that since 2012-13. They can make it three straight tonight. Our pick is Under 147.0. That puts us directly against the clearest early-season trend in this matchup, so the reasoning below needs to hold up.
The number
Pick: Under 147.0 (game total), line 147.
Model probability: n/a. Market-implied probability: n/a. Edge: None. Model confidence: None.
Our engine did not produce verified game data for this matchup. We therefore have no model probability, no measured edge over the market and no confidence grade to report. We will not estimate or reconstruct any of those figures. This pick rests only on the researched context below, which is thinner support than a quantified edge. Please weight it accordingly. Like every PeoplesPicks entry, it will be logged on our public ledger and graded as published.
Why the model leans this way
With no engine output available, the case for the Under comes from series history and matchup structure rather than projections.
The last meeting landed just under this number. Last season Ole Miss won 88–58. That is 146 combined points, one point below tonight's 147. The Rebels reached 88 in that game, close to their current 90-point pace, and the total still stayed under. The reason was the other side of the scoreboard.
Southeastern Louisiana's scoring has been suppressed in this series. Ole Miss is 20-0 all-time against the Lions in a series dating to 1956. The Rebels have held Southeastern Louisiana under 50 points six times. A total of 147 needs roughly 57 Lions points even if Ole Miss scores 90. Ole Miss alone cannot carry an Over if the Lions' half of the total stalls, and this series has a documented history of that happening.
Road context. This game is part of an eight-game road stretch for Southeastern Louisiana, and Ole Miss is its second SEC opponent. A sustained road trip against higher-level opposition is a reasonable setting for uneven offense from the visitors.
A lopsided game can lose pace late. Last season's 30-point margin shows how this matchup tends to unfold. When a game is decided early, rotations deepen and late-game urgency fades. That can take possessions out of the final minutes, which matters for a line set this close to last year's result.
Lineup stability cuts both ways. The Rebels' five starters have combined active starting streaks of 211 games. Continuity tends to help a defense as much as an offense. Ole Miss also comes off a 15-20 season with a 4-14 SEC record, so its two early 90-point games are a small sample against a weaker prior.
No injury news surfaced for either team.
The case against
The argument for the Over is real, and in some respects stronger on the surface.
Ole Miss's offense is in form. The Rebels have scored 90 or more twice in two games. A third 90-point night would leave Southeastern Louisiana needing only 57 to push the total over. The Lions have cleared that mark in this series before.
Patton Pinkins is an outlier shooter. In the last game he went 7-of-8 from the field, 4-of-5 from three and 1-of-1 at the line. He is shooting 45.0 percent (50-of-111) from three over two seasons, the best career mark in program history. A shooter like that can push a total several points on his own. He also has support: Santiago Trouet averages 11.5 points and 7.0 rebounds, and Corey Stephenson averages 10.5 points and 5.5 rebounds.
The Lions can shoot. In their win, Southeastern Louisiana shot 52.9 percent from the field, 52.0 percent from three and 72.7 percent from the line. Army transfer Jackson Furman scored a career-high 21. If that version of the Lions appears, the Under loses its main support, which is the visitors' scoring floor.
The margin is thin. Last year's 146 cleared this number by one point. One extra possession, a late three, or a few free throws in garbage time is enough to flip the result. Early-season college totals carry wide variance, and two-game samples for both teams make any read less reliable.
Put plainly: the Over wins if Ole Miss keeps its current pace and the Lions shoot anywhere near their efficient game. Because we have no model probability for this one, we cannot quantify how often that happens. We would describe the outcome as close to a coin flip, not a strong edge.
