So this game will be on a neutral court and just for that along with how well Arkansas has been playing has given us a nice old juicy -4 line. I believe this is a mistake. Arkansas is not 4 points within a Baylor team on a neutral court. I don't beleive Arkansas will be able to have answers for Tweety Carter, Baylor's point guard. Tweety put up 27 points in each game vs. Arizona State and Xavier much better defensive and overall teams. Then you have the 6'10 forward Ekepe Udon. He's 240lbs and Arkansas won't have an answer for him either.
The Bottom line here though is Arkansas is getting respect because they are #31 in the nation in FG% at 48.4, but if you look at the defenses they have faced their last 5 are an average 276.4 in FG% defense. No wonder they are blowing teams out and that's where the respect is coming from. Arkansas has not played anyone except Oklahoma which blew them out of the building and even then Oklahoma only #222 in FG% defense while Baylor comes in at a cool #6 in the nation with 36.8%. Baylor has actually played some quality teams too in Arizona State, Xavier, and Alabama all top 100 RPI teams. While Arkansas has played Oklahoma and Louisville and got blown out of the building. Oklahoma is not even in the top 100 yet and have a weak schedule thus far.
Arkansas is 5-15 ATS in their last 20 vs. the Big 12 while Baylor has revenge and remember well when Arkansas came here two years ago and beat them.
