Allen Flanigan (Guard) vs. Hysier Miller (Guard)
Allen Flanigan has been an important piece in Ole Miss Rebels’ success this season. His stats reflect this with 18.8 points and 7 rebounds per game to showcase his offensive prowess, as well as 1.8 steals per game to demonstrate his defensive capabilities. However, his field goal percentage of 39.3% and turnovers (1.8 per game) show there’s room for growth, particularly under high-pressure situations.
Hysier Miller, Temple’s star guard, has had an outstanding start. Averaging 20.8 points per game and with 4.5 assists and 4.8 rebounds per game to back him up, Hysier’s scoring ability remains a significant threat on the court. Unfortunately, however, his 37% field goal accuracy and higher turnover rate (3 per game) could prove vulnerable against Ole Miss’s tough defense.
Flanigan and Miller will engage in an epic battle of offensive and defensive acumen when they square off on the court, pitting one against the other with Flanigan using her disruptive plays to combat Miller’s scoring and playmaking abilities. This face-off could decide the outcome and flow of the game itself.
