What to Know

The #14 Arkansas Razorbacks have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. Arkansas and the #13 Tennessee Volunteers will face off in an SEC battle at noon ET Saturday at Thompson-Boling Arena. Both teams looked pretty sloppy on the offensive side of the ball the last time they faced off, scoring just 106 points combined.

The Razorbacks escaped with a win on Wednesday against the LSU Tigers by the margin of a single free throw, 77-76. Four players on Arkansas scored in the double digits: guard Stanley Umude (23), forward Jaylin Williams (19), guard Au'Diese Toney (18), and guard JD Notae (12). That makes it seven consecutive games in which Jaylin Williams has had at least ten rebounds.

Meanwhile, Tennessee was able to grind out a solid win over the Georgia Bulldogs on Tuesday, winning 75-68. Tennessee's guard Josiah-Jordan James was one of the most active players for the team, picking up 23 points and five assists along with eight rebounds.

Arkansas is expected to lose this next one by 5.5. The odds have been favorable for them against the spread on the road this season, even if it's been tough sledding overall. They are 6-2 ATS in away games but only 18-12 all in all.

Their wins bumped Arkansas to 24-6 and the Volunteers to 22-7. In Arkansas' victory, Stanley Umude had 23 points in addition to five boards and Au'Diese Toney had 18 points. We'll see if Tennessee have a strategy for dealing with them or if they lead their team to another successful outing.
