Trends

Arkansas is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games against a team with a winning record and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600 while the under is 8-1 in their last 9 games following an ATS win.

Pick

I’m sticking with the under here. Both teams like to get to the rim, but both are going head-first into tough interior defenses and both teams are also solid defensively across the board while the offenses have definitely shown signs of weakness over the course of conference play. This feels like a first to 65 wins kind of game, like a 64-59 or 64-58 kind of game whichever way you have it going so give me the under here.
