Tennessee Volunteers vs. Arkansas Razorbacks Predictions
The Volunteers are coming into the game with a solid season record and an impressive offensive lineup, led by guard Dalton Knecht, who is averaging 20.3 points per game. Tennessee’s offensive prowess is reflected in their average of 79.5 points per game, ranking them 61st in the nation. Their defense is also noteworthy, allowing an average of just 68.0 points to their opponents. The team’s recent performance has been a mix, with a 7-3 record in their last 10 games, but they’ll be looking to capitalize on their 1-game winning streak to maintain momentum.
Arkansas, despite a less stellar record, has shown flashes of brilliance throughout the season. Guard Tramon Mark leads the team with an average of 17.6 points per game, and the Razorbacks have a strong free-throw game, ranking 14th in free throws made. However, their recent form has been shaky, with a 3-7 record in their last 10 games and a 2-game losing streak they’re desperate to snap. The Razorbacks will need to leverage their home-court advantage at Bud Walton Arena, where they have a 9-4 record, to overcome the Volunteers’ challenge.
Defensively, both teams have areas to exploit. Tennessee’s ability to limit opponents’ scoring will be tested against Arkansas’ aggressive play style, particularly at the free-throw line. On the other hand, Arkansas will need to tighten up their defense, which has allowed an average of 79.7 points in their last 10 games. The key matchup to watch will be between Tennessee’s Knecht and Arkansas’ Mark, as both guards have the potential to ignite their respective offenses and swing the game in their team’s favor.
Tennessee Volunteers vs. Arkansas Razorbacks Pick
Considering the offensive capabilities of both teams and the trends in their scoring, the ‘Over’ pick seems to be the most logical choice for this matchup. Tennessee’s offense is averaging 79.5 points per game, and they have surpassed the total line of 151.0 in 7 of their last 10 games. Arkansas, while not as consistent, still averages 76.0 points per game and has a tendency to get to the free-throw line often, which could slow the game down and lead to more points. Additionally, the Razorbacks have gone over the total line in 13 of their home games this season, indicating a propensity for high-scoring affairs at Bud Walton Arena.
While both teams have shown defensive strengths, the offensive firepower on display from players like Dalton Knecht and Tramon Mark suggests that scoring will not be in short supply. Furthermore, with Arkansas looking to break their losing streak and Tennessee aiming to build on their recent win, the motivation for an aggressive offensive approach is high. Historical head-to-head data also supports the over, as both teams have a tendency to score in abundance when they meet. Given these factors, the ‘Over’ pick is supported by both the statistical trends and the context of this game.
The Pick: Over 151.0 -110 (DraftKings)
