Queens Royals vs. Arkansas Razorbacks Prediction

I’m on the over here. I just think that Arkansas is a solid team, but it’s also a young team, and I have to wonder how focused this Arkansas team will be on Queens after their massive win over Texas Tech last time out. Queens has been a sieve defensively, so I think Arkansas will score at will here, but I also think Queens can put up some numbers to help us hit this over. Give me the over here.
