Arkansas vs Vanderbilt Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup on a four game winning streak and they both have plenty of offense, so this should be a very entertaining game. Vanderbilt is shooting 48% from the field and they have scored 86+ points in three of their last four games. Arkansas is shooting 50% from the field and they have scored 82+ in four straight. The Commodores are the slightly better defensive team, but I think this game is a complete toss up, so I will take the points with Arkansas and their elite freshmen.
