Texas Aggies and Kentucky...
Super Tuesday on ESPN against Texas Aggies with just under 1k tickets left. Should have a crowd between 18,200 & 19,200 on hand. Will be a great home atmosphere once again as we honor Nolan.
The Aggies will be a formidable opponent. They seem to have an issue rebounding, as they rank 110th nationally in this category. They only average 67 or so points a contest, so they like to slow the pace. They have 3 players who average 27 or more minutes a game.mtwo of those are over 30 per game.
Need to keep someone in Danuel House's back pocket all night. They're pretty bad at shooting an uncontested shot from the charity stripe. Just over 64% to be exact. House, Jones, and Caruso all shoot the free shots under 70%.
The key to this game is run, run, run. Target point total for us should be 75 points. Texas Aggies have scored 75 points only once in conference play, against Missouri. They hit 83 that game. This is good, as Arkansas has averaged well above 80 ppg at home this year. Arkansas has scored 75+ points at home in 5 league games.
Texas Aggies have had an issue this season with good competition. Their best game was probably at home against UK. Their worst against good competition was likely against, Baylor. The Bears won by 14. In league play Ole Miss beat them by 10.
Should be a good one. Overall I think our depth and their lack of FT shooting gives Arkansas the edge. We will foul a lot.
Arkansas -7
Then we play Kentucky...
