Arkansas Razorbacks – March Madness Team Predictions, Odds and Preview 2017


Arkansas Razorbacks (Overall: 25-9, Conf: 12-6)


College Basketball News and Previews


Team Strengths

Arkansas already proved to us this season that it can score in massive bunches and in a variety of ways. The team ranks 31st nationally in points (80.2) and is beating opponents by an average scoring margin of 6.5 points (56th).
Senior Dusty Hannahs leads four double-digit scorers for the Razorbacks with 14.6 point per contest. He’s finished with no less than 11 points in his previous six games, but Arkansas will likely need more than that to really make a difference in the upcoming NCAA Tournament.

The Razorbacks are a +20,000 bet to emerge as national champs this season.

Team Weaknesses

A loaded offense isn’t always enough to win games. The Razorbacks have a porous defense that allows 73.8 points to opponents per game this season—an obviously unacceptable average for a team that’s hoping to better its second-round loss to North Carolina in the 2015 edition of the tournament.
