Arkansas at Alabama

Of the more than thousands of college basketball games that have been played this season, this is just the 14th instance of a game with a total of 180 points or higher. Yes, it's justified, being Arkansas vs. Alabama. Arkansas is the fifth-highest scoring team in the nation, while Alabama produces the eighth-most points. The Crimson Tide ranks last defensively in the SEC, allowing 82.7 points a game. The Razorbacks yield an average of 79.7 points, ranking 292nd nationally. But a lot has to go right for this game to go OVER this high of a total. There are too many signs pointing against that. Arkansas may not want to play so fast on the road. The Razorbacks are also above average in defense field goal percentage and rank 48th in 3-point defense. Alabama is merely average in offensive rebounding. The Crimson Tide is not likely to get many second and third chance opportunities. Alabama has held its last two opponents, South Carolina and Mississippi, to 75 and 74 points, respectively. Take the UNDER.
