Who's Playing

Elon @ Arkansas

Current Records: Elon 3-9; Arkansas 9-2

What to Know

The Arkansas Razorbacks will be home for the holidays to greet the Elon Phoenix at 7 p.m. ET Tuesday at Bud Walton Arena. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

Arkansas came up short against the Hofstra Pride this past Saturday, falling 89-81. If the result catches you off guard, it should: the Razorbacks were far and away the favorite. Guard JD Notae (20 points) and guard Chris Lykes (19 points) were the top scorers for Arkansas.

Meanwhile, Elon took a serious blow against the Duke Blue Devils this past Saturday, falling 87-56. The top scorer for Elon was guard Jerald Gillens-Butler (14 points).

This next matchup looks promising for Arkansas, who are favored by a full 19.5 points. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past two games, so buyers beware.

The Razorbacks are now 9-2 while the Phoenix sit at 3-9. Two numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Arkansas comes into the game boasting the 24th most points per game in college basketball at 81.5. Less enviably, Elon is 21st worst in college basketball in points allowed per game, with 76.8 on average. So the cards are definitely stacked against Elon.
