Little Rock vs Arkansas State Prediction

I’m going to stay with Arkansas State. The Red Wolves didn’t play too badly against a very good Alabama team in their last outing, despite 13 turnovers and a 50-41 rebounding deficit (14-8 offensive). Arkansas State shot 40.3 percent from the field in that one but shot pretty poorly from 3-point range (6-of-28).

As for Little Rock, they shot just 34.4 percent from the field with a 52-32 rebounding deficit and 20 turnovers in their loss to Winthrop. Arkansas State should be an even bigger challenge, and I don’t think the Trojans will get too close in the end.
