Oddsmakers at online sportsbook SBGglobal.com list the Commodores as 2 1/2-chalk road favorites with a 142 combined score total (over/under).

The Razorbacks enter the game with a 15-6 overall record, and have won 15 consecutive games at Bud Walton Arena this season. B.J. Young leads all active players with 14.4 points per game, while Mardracus Wade (10.8) and Rickey Scott (10.1) also average double figures.
The Commodores are a veteran team with four seniors in the starting lineup who are great shooters, hitting shots at 46.8 percent for the year and an astonishing 40.3 percent from three. John Jenkins is the scoring leader, not just for the Commodores, but in the SEC and averages 20.0 points per game.
Until now the Razorbacks have been a great betting pick and should remain the same tonight. Take the Razorbacks and the 2 1/2-points. My Pick – Arkansas +2 1/2.
