Why Arkansas can cover
Arkansas is playing its best basketball of the season, winning three of its last five games to get on the right side of the NCAA Tournament bubble in most projections. The Razorbacks beat Georgia at home on Jan. 22 before adding consecutive road wins against then-No. 12 Kentucky and Texas. Their two losses during their last five games came by three points against Oklahoma and four points against then-No. 3 Alabama.
The Razorbacks covered the spread as 5.5-point underdogs in their 85-81 loss to Alabama, as freshman forward Zvonimir Ivisic scored 27 points and grabbed seven rebounds. He shot 10 of 18 from the floor and 5 of 9 from the perimeter in the best outing of his career. Arkansas has covered the spread in four of its last five games, while LSU has only covered the spread three times in its last 13 SEC games. See which team to pick here.
