Why Bet on the Arkansas Razorbacks?

Behind Arkansas is an impressive coaching staff, who despite losing two key players to the NBA, managed to squeeze more out of its players. After finishing a closely contested game against the No. 6 seed Texas Tech Red Raiders, The Razorbacks make their way to the Sweet 16 for the first time in 25 years.

The core of Arkansas coming into the game is its ball security and output in the paint. This is further improved by the return of Justin Smith, who missed games since mid-January. He made it to the second team all-SEC and is ready to go to work.

The forward took the helm in their last match against Texas Tech, putting up 20 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists. Meanwhile, freshman guard Moses Moody begins to heat up after recording 15 points and six rebounds.

Why Bet on the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles?

The Golden Eagles enter the Sweet 16 with their heads up high after overcoming No. 7 seed Florida Gators in an exhilarating 81-78 win. Oral Roberts trailed by as much as 11 points during the game, but the Golden Eagles clawed their way to the front thanks to the resilience of Kevin Obanor and Max Abmas. The former recorded a game-high 28 points and 11 rebounds while Abmas added 26 points and 7 assists.

Oral Roberts is known for its fierce offense. They display explosive plays that brought the team up to the 98th percentile in the half-court, per Synergy. Expect fast plays from the team and shots from beyond the arc.

At 38.8 percent in 3-point shooting and 82.6 percent from the free-throw line, they will try to force an upset in the approaching NCAAB: Arkansas vs. Oral Roberts game.

The Oral Roberts is in for a challenge once again. This is only the second time a No. 15 seed moves on to the Sweet 16, giving this game hints of an underdog story.
