Quick context

The Braves and Tigers meet less than a year after a lopsided Dec. 27, 2024, matchup in which South Jones rolled to a 79-34 win (game recap: https://scorebooklive.com/mississippi/basketball/games/4846364-northeast-jones-vs-south-jones). In that meeting SBLive’s pregame projection heavily favored South Jones (about 89% to win). Expect Northeast Jones to try to flip the script on its home court.
