It’s time to continue our college basketball odds series with a prediction and tip for UT Arlington Arkansas State. Find out how to watch UT Arlington Arkansas State.

The college basketball season brought a number of notable surprises. One occurred last Sunday in Memphis. Arkansas State went into the Tigers’ den and not only won, but dominated. Arkansas State shocked everyone in college basketball by defeating Penny Hardaway’s team 85-72. It wasn’t even close.

The Red Wolves scored over 40 points in each half, but the crazy thing is that they didn’t shoot the ball that well. They finished the game shooting less than 37 percent from the field. One of their starters, guard Taryn Todd, went 4 of 19 from the field. Another starter, Terrance Ford, went 0 for 5. Arkansas State made 12 3-pointers in 36 attempts. The make percentage (33.3) wasn’t particularly high, but at that volume more points were scored over the course of the 40-minute game. Arkansas State was plus-15 points on threes (12 points to just seven for Memphis). When Memphis had to foul ASU late in the game, the Red Wolves made most of their free throws, going 21 of 27 at the foul line.

The big difference and x-factor for Arkansas State in the 13-point win at Memphis was backup Dyondre Dominguez. He’s averaging just 3.4 points per game this season, but on Sunday he scored 19 points on 5-of-7 shooting, 3-of-3 from 3-point range and 6-of-6 from the free throw line. The performance came out of nowhere, but was certainly useful for a Red Wolves team that is currently 7-3 on the season.

Arkansas State had not been dominant in its last four games before the surprise win in Memphis. The Red Wolves lost to Hofstra and Rice, neither of which are particularly strong. Arkansas State has struggled to establish a consistently high standard. The game in Memphis was by far the team’s best performance of the season. It won as a double-digit underdog against an opponent that had beaten UConn and Michigan State earlier this season and was nationally ranked. Arkansas State is certainly hoping the win at Memphis is a catalyst for the season, a game that allows the Red Wolves to play elite basketball for an extended period of time. This game against UT Arlington is a test to see if ASU can maintain what it established in Memphis a few days ago.

Why UT Arlington will cover the spread/win

Arkansas State played a great game against Memphis, but they’re the same team that stumbled over Hofstra and Rice before this win.

We should also point out that Dyondre Dominguez has done virtually nothing for Arkansas State this season other than his 19-point performance against Memphis. This performance seems more of an outlier than an indicator. We need to see Dominguez perform consistently well before we can assume ASU will destroy its opponents on a consistent basis. Arkansas State still deserves some skepticism.

Why Arkansas State will cover the spread/win

Dyondre Dominguez’s performance was an outlier, but then again, Taryn Todd isn’t going to go 4-of-19 from the field on a regular basis. Arkansas State didn’t have great performances across the board against Memphis. Some of his starters had problems. For this reason, winning in Memphis doesn’t feel particularly far-fetched. Some people on this team still have room to grow. That’s why ASU will not only win in this game, but also cover.

Final prediction and picks for UT Arlington-Arkansas State

The focus is on Arkansas State, but we want to see the Red Wolves prove they mean business by withstanding the pressure in a game they are expected to win. Pass this on.
