Robert Morris +31.5
Our number: ARK −20 · Line: ARK −31.5
Hogs by 20. Arkansas wins big, but 31 and a half is a lot of points. Robert Morris covers.
Yes, the Hogs win big
Nobody’s arguing that. Robert Morris coughed it up 19 times in an 86-49 loss at Nevada, then 20 more times in a 79-56 loss at UIC. At Nevada the Colonials made 13 of 49 shots. That’s 27 percent.
And Bud Walton feasts on that stuff. In the home opener the Hogs forced 24 turnovers and turned them into 45 points on the break in a 106-61 win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Jeremiah Wilkinson had 23 points and five steals in 21 minutes. Jordan Smith Jr. has 39 points in two games. The Hogs are going to win this one going away.
But 31 and a half is a lot of points
Covering this means beating a Division I team by 32. Robert Morris won 22 of 33 games against Division I teams last season, and it’s a lot better than the Pine Bluff team the Hogs ran out of the building. Arkansas also just lost by 19 to Virginia in D.C., where it turned it over 15 times and gave up 12 threes. This roster is still figuring things out.
Then there’s the clock. Once it’s 25 up with ten minutes left, the walk-ons check in and the margin stops growing. Robert Morris also went 20 of 23 at the line at Nevada, so a foul-heavy second half helps them hang around. We have the Hogs by 20. Give me the Colonials and the points. It lands on the receipts page win or lose. Parlays aren’t tracked there.
The turnover avalanche If Robert Morris hands it over 20 times again, the Hogs can be up 30 at halftime and the backups keep pouring it on. That’s the whole case against us, and it’s a real one. Arkansas forced 24 turnovers in its opener.
Parlays
Arkansas cruises with the bench closing it out, and the scoring dries up late.
The Colonials finally hold on to the ball and slow it to a crawl, and Bud Walton goes quiet. It would take a miracle, which is why it's here. This is the Crazy Bet. For fun, small money.
