The Rebels lost to Marquette and Southern Mississippi. Both of these teams has played a very light schedule so far this year, but this will give them a chance to pick up a quality win.<\/p>\n<p>The Blue Raiders stand out because of their amazing shooting percentage. Middle Tennessee State actually leads the entire nation (345 teams) in field goal percentage. The Blue Raiders are knocking down an amazing 53% of their shots so far this season. They are also nailing 41.7% of their three-point attempts. <\/p>\n<p>[soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>LaRon Dendy, Marcos Knight, and J.T Sulton are all averaging double figures in 2011. The team is only allowing 63.2 points per game. It\u2019s hard to imagine the Blue Raiders keeping up that ridiculous shooting percentage all year, so they\u2019ll have to rely on their defense to win them some close games.<\/p>\n<p>Andy Kennedy\u2019s Mississippi Rebels lost a couple key players from last year\u2019s squad, but they still have plenty of talent. Murphy Holloway averages 10.3 points and 9.5 rebounds per game. Mississippi actually has four players average double figures in points so far this season. The team has been hurt by the fact that they have struggled shooting the ball. <\/p>\n<p>The Rebels are hitting just 59.6% of their free throws. The strength of this team is their ability to get second chance opportunities. Defensively, the Rebels allow 63.3 points per contest.<\/p>\n<p>Look for this to be a close game all the way. The Blue Raiders have proven they can win on the road, so I\u2019ll take the three points here.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Middle Tennessee State 67 Mississippi 66<\/p>\n<h3><a title=\"CBB PICKS\" href=\"\/handicappers\/\" target=\"_self\"><strong>Want the best CBB Cappers Picks On The Planet?
