Fresno State vs Arkansas Prediction
I’ll lean toward Arkansas. The Razorbacks notched a nice win over a very good Louisville team this week, shooting 42 percent from the field with a 46-36 rebounding advantage along the way. Arkansas was outscored 42-34 in the paint but made up for it with a solid performance from the line on 27-of-35 (77 percent) there. The Razorbacks have 71 or more points in all eight games so far this year, with the one outlier being 66 points in a three-point loss to Michigan State on November 8 in game two.
As for Fresno State, they had a pretty ugly offensive game versus CSU Bakersfield in their latest outing. The Bulldogs shot just 36.9 percent from the field and 24.2 percent (8-of-33) from outside along with 15 turnovers. Fresno State held CSUB to just 1-of-15 (6.7 percent) from 3-point range, but the Roadrunners made up for it with 23-of-24 (95.8 percent) from the line. The good news for the Bulldogs is that they’ve scored 71 or more points in seven straight games now. I could see Fresno State staying reasonably close here if the shots drop early.
