SEC Betting Roundup: Alabama at Mississippi State Top Game of Week
Plenty of Big Games on Slate Wednesday
Southeastern Conference teams have an abbreviated schedule this week, with most teams getting an extended holiday. But Wednesday’s schedule makes up for it, with a number of great games for the SEC basketball roundup. The one that will draw the most interest is the battle of ranked teams, as Alabama visits Mississippi State.
Wednesday’s Top SEC Games
Kentucky Wildcats vs Missouri Tigers
Date, Time & Streaming:
Location: Mizzou Arena (Columbia, Missouri)
Streaming: SEC Network
The first game of the SEC basketball roundup sees Tigers are allowing 36.1% from long range. If the Wildcats hit from the outside, Missouri will have a tough time keeping up. The over could be worth a look.
Alabama Crimson Tide vs Mississippi State
Date, Time & Streaming:
Location: Humphrey Coliseum (Starkville, Mississippi)
Streaming: SEC Network
No. 8 Bulldogs are ranked No. 5 in adjusted defensive efficiency but No. 134 on offense. Alabama is in the top 20 both offensively and defensively. The Crimson Tide will look to push the pace, while Mississippi State plays much slower. Both teams are strong on the offensive glass and whoever wins the battle of second chances should come away with the win.
Best of the Rest Wednesday Games
Arkansas Razorbacks vs LSU Tigers
Date, Time & Streaming:
Location: Maravich Assembly Center (Baton Rouge, Louisiana)
Streaming: ESPN2
Next on the SEC basketball roundup is No. 9 LSU and beaten two of them. Arkansas is better offensively and defensively. LSU’s strength on defense, defending the 3-pointer, is a bit irrelevant. The Razorbacks aren’t a good 3-point shooting team and don’t attempt many long range shots. The matchups favor Arkansas but Baton Rouge can be a tough place for visiting teams.
Florida Gators vs Auburn Tigers
Date, Time & Streaming:
Location: Neville Arena (Auburn, Alabama)
Streaming: ESPN2
The No. 20 March Madness odds than they are the regular season games. Both teams have better adjusted defensive efficiency rankings than they do on offense. The Tigers are favored by 5.5 and the total has come down several points to 141.
Friday’s Best in the SEC
Eastern Michigan Eagles vs South Carolina Gamecocks
Date, Time & Streaming:
Location: Colonial Life Arena (Columbia, S.C.)
Streaming: SEC Network
Not a great game by any means, but Gamecocks are much better defensively, but the Eagles do get the nod on offense. Both teams are coming off extended breaks and rust could be a factor at the onset.
New Year’s Eve Battle of the Bluegrass State
Louisville Cardinals vs Kentucky Wildcats
Date, Time & Streaming:
Location: Rupp Arena (Lexington, Kentucky)
Streaming: CBS
This game isn’t what it was, but it’s still Louisville and Kentucky for the last game in the SEC basketball roundup. The Kentucky and Florida A&M this year. That’s it. While it was expected to be another down season, few thought it would be this bad. If the Wildcats want to run up the score, they should be able to. If the line is Kentucky -25 or less, the Wildcats should be the play here.
