7 Units Arkansas LR -5 (PUSH 59-54) +0.00 UNITS
This will be a fun Sun Belt game featuring a lot of points, as both teams like to run and gun. The Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders don't have a lot of height or defense (giving up 72 ppg on the road), but they have a ton of offense in the backcourt with 6’-3” senior Tommy Gunn (16.5 ppg), 5'-11" freshman Bryan Smithson, three-point specialist 6’-2” junior Mike Dean (16 ppg) and 6'-5" junior Michael Cuffee (11 ppg, 5 rpg). They will have to get their track shoes on early, too, as Arkansas Little Rock averages 77 points per game at home with excellent depth and balance. Little Rock has a strong frontcourt of 6’-9” senior Jamal Holden (11 ppg, 4 rpg) and 6’-6” junior Rich Hardman (10 ppg, 6.6 rpg), and a deep backcourt with 6'-2" guard Brandon Freeman (13 ppg). On January 17 Little Rock won 68-66 at Middle Tennessee State. Look for more points and for Little Rock to win by a bigger margin, as they won 10 of their first 12 home games outscoring teams by an impressive 77-57 average at home!!!!
