ARKANSAS vs AUBURN PREDICTION

The Tigers live and die by the three-point shot and against Arkansas, they are going to have a challenge getting open looks. Auburn is a team that is led by mostly freshmen this season while Arkansas is led by mostly returning players and Seniors which shows in the turnover rate of the Tigers. The Tigers turn the ball over on 23% of their possessions. The Razorbacks defense should be able to shut down the Tigers’ fast-paced offense and force turnovers that will lead to easy buckets. The Bookie is rolling with the Arkansas Razorbacks to cover the spread in a high scoring game.
