Troy vs Arkansas Prediction & Pick

Don't look at Troy as just another non-conference layup for Arkansas. Not only did Nelson Phillips drop 22 points on Tuesday, but he added 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 13 steals. He leads a Trojans offense that ranks third in the Sun Belt in scoring (86.0) and fourth in shooting percentage (47.8%).

This is still a Troy team that lost to the St. Thomas and has yet to play a ranked opponent, though. The Razorbacks are going to come out firing in their first home game since Nov. 16. They play with a great tenacity on defense, forcing 21.3 turnovers (T-No. 12 in NCAA) and allowing 54.0 points per home game.

Final Score Prediction: Troy: 60 | Arkansas: 74

Troy vs Arkansas Best Bet

As mentioned above, the Trojans have players capable of getting hot. Christyon Eugene is shooting 54.5% from the floor and Duke Miles is hitting three-pointers at a 47.1% mark. Being able to drain shots from beyond the arc is going to be crucial against an Arkansas team that knows how to score.

Keep in mind Troy is 5-1 against the spread (ATS) in its last away six games. Arkansas is also allowing 63.3 points per game on the season, which means it may be forced to score 80 or more points in order to cover the spread. The Razorbacks have reached the 80-point mark just twice in six games.

Bet: Troy Trojans +17.5 (-110)
