Mississippi takes on Hawaii in the Diamond Head classic in Hawaii, and it's been a grueling four days for these teams. The Rebels (9-2) defeated San Francisco 85-78 in the consolation bracket on Sunday allowing 40% shooting in the second half. They are likely to continue that defense with more at stake here, plus their 3rd game in 4 nights. Ole Miss is a terrific offensive team, but lost in the shuffle is a great defense, outstanding field goal percentage defense (33.5%) and steals (10.8 per game), both ranked 8th in the nation. In addition they are 10th in 3-point field goal percentage defense (24.6%) and 13th in blocks (6.1 per game). The Rebels also rank in the top-50 in the nation in scoring defense (32nd). After a disappointing opening round loss to Miami, Hawaii allowed 61 points and 34% shooting in a win over East Tennessee State. Hawaii has a chance to salvage a good showing in their own tourney with a win over an SEC team, which means a tough defensive effort. And the UNDER is 5-2 in the Warriors last seven games following a win of more than 20 points. Play the UNDER here.
