Texas A&M vs Arkansas Prediction & Pick

Arkansas snapped its three-game losing streak with an exciting win over Auburn on Thursday, proving that the tournament really is a fresh slate.

The Razorbacks will have a much tougher time getting past Texas A&M on Friday, however. The Aggies are well-rested after finishing the regular season on an 8-1 run and going 15-3 against conference opponents this year. That includes a 62-56 win in their most recent matchup versus Arkansas on Feb. 15.

The Razorbacks won their first meeting, however, and both teams are pretty evenly matched. Texas A&M is superior on defense, while Arkansas has the edge on offense.

Expect the Aggies' defense to step up after having some time off to rest and prepare. The Razorbacks also are in jeopardy of running out of steam after playing to the final whistle yesterday, which could be a factor in crunch time of what will likely be a close game.

Final Score Prediction: Texas A&M: 71 | Arkansas: 68

Texas A&M vs Arkansas Best Bet

The Aggies should probably be favored by a bit more than they actually are, especially after winning 17 of their last 20 games. Texas A&M is firing on all cylinders while Arkansas finished the season in a slump. Thursday's win took a lot out of the Razorbacks and will prevent them from advancing to the semis.

Bet: Texas A&M Aggies -1.5 (-105)
