Pythia's preview, written before tip-off

Ole Miss faces Alcorn State on 2 November 2026 in the NCAA, with the Pythia model designating Ole Miss as the clear favourite, assigning it a 93% chance of victory largely because of their dominant season performance and high scoring average; Alcorn State receives only a 7% probability of winning. In the last five games, Ole Miss secured three wins and two losses, including a narrow 90-93 defeat to Arkansas and close victories over Alabama and Georgia, while Alcorn State won two and lost three, dropping to Prairie View A&M, beating Alabama State, and falling to Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Historically, Ole Miss has won both of the two meetings against Alcorn State, the most recent being a 79-43 triumph on 29 December 2025. Pythia projects an 81-64 score for the contest, with a total of 144.3 points; the over-148.5 line has a 40% chance of being hit, and the game has a 2% probability of going into overtime. The projected outcome underscores Ole Miss's offensive potency and Alcorn State's recent struggles, setting the stage for a decisive showdown.

Written by Pythia from this game's frozen forecast, the market's main lines and both teams' results.
