for "Over/Under Under 144.5" odds interpretation: The odds offered by institutions for "under 144.5" are 0.83, and the odds offered for "over 144.5" are 0.8. The odds of 0.83 are below 0.8, which usually means that the probability of a total score below 144.5 is slightly higher than the probability of a score above 144.5, or that they are more inclined to guard against small points, but the advantage is not obvious. The low return rate also indicates that the total score market is relatively cautious in this game.

Based on the above analysis, the total score for this game tends to be low based on the possible home offensive pressure of the University of Kentucky, the away strategy of the University of Mississippi, the defensive form shown by the two sides recently, and the scoring characteristics of historical head-to-heads. The 144.5-point market setting is a relatively high threshold, and if both teams are defensively focused, or the pace of the game is effectively controlled, the total score of "less than 144.5" is a logical prediction direction. Institutional odds also support this direction.
