Akron Zips vs Arkansas Razorbacks Point Spread Picks

Arkansas lost four of its top five scorers from last season's SEC runner-up team. They do have a talented 6-10 shot blocker in the frontcourt in Moses Kingsley, a junior from Nigeria. They held Southern to 68 points in the opener as Kingsley had 12 rebounds and five blocked shots. They face an Akron team that has good frontcourt size to counter Kinglsey. Akron plays tough defense, on a 4-0 run UNDER the total, including 5-1 UNDER against a team with a winning percentage above .600. Akron's inexperience lies in its starting backcourt, so they will lean on defense even more for this step-up contest. They come off a big offensive game but the Zips are 9-3 UNDER the total after scoring more than 90 points in their previous game. Play this one UNDER.
