Arkansas enters tonight’s game looking to bounce back from its loss to Illinois as it prepares to face the Miami Hurricanes. Miami started the season 3-0 and averaged 98 points per game, but since then they have gone 0-4 and averaged 73 points per game. In Miami’s last game, they lost to Charleston Southern, a 1-7 team, with a final score of 83-79. It was obvious that Miami was struggling offensively without its point guard Nijel Pack, who leads Miami with 15.2 points and 4.7 assists per game this season. Today, John Calipari and this Arkansas team will try to hand Miami its fifth straight loss, and I think they have a good chance of doing so.

Arkansas is averaging 80.6 points per game this season and a large portion of their offense comes from Adou Thiero as he is averaging 19.1 points and 5.9 rebounds per game while shooting 63.2% from the field this season . Freshman Boogie Fland is off to a great start this season, averaging 15.9 points and 4.9 assists per game. As for Miami, they need players like Jalen Blackmon, who averages 11.6 points per game, and Brandon Johnson, who averages 11.4 points per game, to take a big step forward if they fall short against Arkansas want. Miami allows its opponents to score 63.6 points per game and Miami allows 74.1 points per game. I think John Calipari has a good handle on this Arkansas team, and with Miami potentially not having Nijel Pack in their lineup, I think Arkansas should cruise to the win, making them my best bet of the day.
