The Charlotte 49ers and the Arkansas Razorbacks meet in college basketball action from Bud Walton Arena on Tuesday night.

The Charlotte 49ers will look to build on an 86-79 win over George Washington last time out. Jahmir Young leads the 49ers in scoring and assists with 19.7 PPG and 4.4 APG as well as logging 5.6 RPG on the year while Clyde Trapp has 12.3 PPG and a team-high 7.1 RPG to lead the 49ers on the glass. Austin Butler has 10.9 PPG with 6 RPG to cap off the trio of double-digit scorers for Charlotte up to this point in the season. Aly Khalifa has 9.6 PPG with 5.1 RPG and 3.7 APG as well on the year for Charlotte. As a team, Charlotte is averaging 70.9 PPG on 46.2% shooting from the field, 34% from three and 79.4% from the foul line while allowing 73.9 PPG on 47.8% shooting from the field and 37.2% from three this season.

The Arkansas Razorbacks will look to add to their 93-78 win over Little Rock in their last matchup. JD Notae leads the Hogs in scoring with 18.1 PPG along with 4.1 RPG and 3.8 APG while Au’Diese Toney has 14 PPG with 6.8 RPG and Chris Lykes has 12.4 PPG. Stanley Umude has 10.5 PPG with 4.9 RPG to make up the group of double-digit scorers for Arkansas up to this point in the season. Jaylin Williams also leads Arkansas with team-highs of 8.8 RPG and 4.3 APG as well this season.

Charlotte is 4-13 ATS in their last 17 games overall and 24-52 ATS in their last 76 road games while the over is 5-0 in their last 5 games following a win. Arkansas is 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games against a team with a winning record and 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games following an ATS loss while the under is 14-5 in their last 19 home games.

I try to make a case for a home dog in most spots, but it’s hard with Charlotte in their current form. The 49ers have been giving up points left and right like it’s been going out of style and they just don’t have the horses to compete when they’re allowing those kinds of big numbers. Arkansas doesn’t necessarily have the same lustre as last year’s group, but they like to run and gun with the best of them and I think that this is certainly a spot that the Hogs just run away with it.
