Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks at Arkansas Razorbacks Prediction
As we have highlighted previously, the Jacks have gone toe-to-toe with some heavyweights recently and showed no timidity. Whether it be Notre Dame in the Men’s Tournament or #1 Kentucky this season, this outfit has big game experience against premium competitors. While Arkansas may see the Jacks as a lowly competitor primed to be whacked at home, Stephen F. Austin has other ideas. This is a team that plays a physical and robust style of defense that affords them an opportunity to be in any game if they dictate control and pace.
Arkansas’ one loss this year was against a team that was heavily overvalued because of the strong start they got off to against weaker opponents, Minnesota. Bottom line, takers are backing on Arkansas’ home court hosting duties combined with the fact they are from a recognized conference, the SEC. The assumption here is that Arkansas is better than the Lumberjacks by default by virtue of conference alignments. This may in fact be true but the heavy steam rolling on the Hogs suggests that there may be a bit of an overreaction here. Stephen F. Austin has the full capability to come in to this contest undetected and come in under this lofty number, especially if they are taken lightly.
