Tuesday College Basketball Betting – Arkansas at Texas on ESPN U. The Razorbacks are 10-2 this season but they are not getting much respect in college basketball odds at Sbg global.
Arkansas 10-2 SU, 2-4 ATS
The Razorbacks have fattened up on a soft non-conference schedule. In fact it is hard to find a quality win among their 10 victories. Wins against Seton Hall and Oklahoma are not quality wins as neither Seton Hall nor Oklahoma is any good. The Razorbacks really haven’t even played a true road game yet this season so that is another issue in this game. And on top of all of that, the Razorbacks are not even going to get much support from their own fans since everyone will be watching the football team as they play in the Sugar Bowl against Ohio State. Arkansas has a couple of good players in Rotnei Clarke and Delvon Johnson but the Razorbacks don’t have enough to beat Texas.
Texas 11-2 SU, 6-2 ATS
The Longhorns have a much stronger resume of work than Arkansas. They already have wins against Michigan State and North Carolina this season. The Longhorns are led by Jordan Hamilton who is averaging 19.8 points and 7.2 rebounds per game. Texas also has other double-digit scorers as Tristan Thompson is averaging 12 points and 8.1 rebounds per game while Gary Johnson is averaging 11.7 points and 7.3 rebounds per game.
