Im a huge Razorback fan. Went to school there and have followed them my entire life. Normally I would be all over the hogs as a double digit home dog, but the one thing in the back of my head is last year. The hogs had beaten legit teams, but then lost by 30 to Florida. I thought this team would be better this year, but it seems to be the same as last year. The hogs only have 2 consistent scorers. And really no threat from the perimeter. I think Florida will play a zone and make Arkansas shoot from the outside, which the hogs are shooting roughly twenty something percent from 3 this year. Florida can light it up in a hurry too, and the hogs have given up a lot of points against good outside shooting teams (i.e. Michigan and Syracuse). The final thing is that the hogs just aren't very physical either and the Gators will have a big advantage inside.
However, with all that being said, Bud Walton is a huge home court advantage and with a sold out crowd, it can be a tough place to play. The fact that Arkansas is playing at home and they will be extra fired up playing against ex-coach John Pelphrey (Florida assistant now) I feel they can keep it close. Usually, I am all over the hogs at home, but this one screams stay away as this can easily be a huge blowout after seeing what Florida has done so far.
Good Luck and WPSComment
