Razorbacks Bringing One of the Nation’s Top Offenses

The Arkansas Razorbacks enter this matchup with a strong 22-8 overall record and a 12-5 mark in SEC play. Arkansas has been one of the highest-scoring teams in the conference and continues to push the tempo offensively. The Razorbacks recently won over Texas, recently lost to Florida, recently won over Texas A&M, recently won over Missouri, and recently lost to Alabama.

Arkansas averages an impressive 90.3 points per game while allowing 79.8 points per game. The Razorbacks shoot 50% from the field and average 35.7 rebounds per game along with 17.2 assists per contest. On the defensive side they also add 5.2 blocks and 7.3 steals per game.

One of the biggest strengths for Arkansas is its offensive efficiency and ball movement. The Razorbacks shoot extremely well from the field and their assist numbers show how well they move the ball to create open looks. When Arkansas gets into a rhythm offensively, it becomes very difficult for opponents to slow them down.

Missouri Hoping to Respond at Home

The Missouri Tigers come into this matchup with a 20-10 overall record and a 10-7 record in SEC play. Missouri has had a solid season overall and will look to bounce back after dropping their most recent contest. The Tigers recently lost to Oklahoma, recently won over Mississippi State, recently won over Tennessee, recently lost to Arkansas, and recently won over Vanderbilt.

Missouri averages 79.8 points per game while allowing 74.8 points per game. The Tigers shoot 49% from the field and average 35.7 rebounds per game along with 14.4 assists. Defensively they also contribute 3.5 blocks and 6.7 steals per game.

Missouri’s strength lies in its efficient shooting and balanced scoring attack. The Tigers are capable of matching Arkansas offensively when their shots are falling, and playing at home could give them a boost as they attempt to avenge their recent loss to the Razorbacks.

Arkansas vs Missouri Pick

Arkansas Razorbacks vs Missouri Tigers Pick

Pick: Arkansas Razorbacks - Spread

Arkansas already defeated Missouri recently and enters this matchup with one of the most explosive offenses in the country. The Razorbacks’ ability to push the pace and score efficiently should create problems for a Missouri defense that allows nearly 75 points per game. Arkansas’ offensive depth and scoring ability should allow them to pull away late.

Arkansas Razorbacks vs Missouri Tigers Total Pick

Pick: Over

I expect this game to be one of the higher-scoring matchups of the day. Both teams average close to or above 80 points per game and play at a fairly quick tempo. With Arkansas pushing the pace and Missouri capable of responding offensively, this matchup should produce plenty of scoring opportunities.

Final Score Prediction: Arkansas 92, Missouri 85
