Anti-spread

LIPSCOMBE RATE +13.5 (-102).

Arkansas leads the all-time series against Lipscomb 3-0, having won all 3 games at home, including a hard-fought 69-66 Razorback win last season. In this match F. Mahi Mitchell scored two decisive goals in the last minutes, and G Davonte Davis secured the win with a late layup. Now under Calipari, Arkansas is undergoing a roster overhaul with more talent as new players will look to find their rhythm together.

Lipscomb comes into the game with a strong ATS record, having played in 5 of the last 6 games last season and holding a 7-2 ATS record in its last matches on November 9th. The Bisons have already started the season with a road win, bringing momentum and experience that could keep this game competitive as Arkansas adjusts to its new roster and leadership.

More/less

RATE LESS THAN 160.5 (-110).

The Razorbacks have a tough task ahead of them to open the season, especially with a total point total of 160.5. While Arkansas was the second-best team in overs last season (24-8-1), with new players and fresh changes, getting that high early on may be difficult.

While Lipscomb got the over ticket in his first game, he finished last season with a 3-4 O/U in his final 7 games. In their last 8 games, the Bisons have scored more than 161 points only twice.

This matchup should lean towards the underground as both teams find their footing.
