Arkansas vs St. John’s Prediction
St. John’s is as hot as any team in the tournament and has been cruising over the last two months. This is pretty much a home game in Rhode Island and there’s a lot to like about the Red Storm. St. John’s is 22-12-1 ATS on the season as well. However, Arkansas looked great offensively in its first-round matchup and it has the size to compete with St. John’s down low. Also, Boogie Fland returned for Arkansas and he should be even more comfortable with a game under his belt.
This line feels disrespectful toward an Arkansas team that can fill it up offensively and has the athletes who can run with St. John’s. Since February, Arkansas is 6-0-1 ATS as an underdog of five or more points. Four of those covers were outright wins. Give me the Razorbacks and the points.
