Arkansas State Red Wolves at Arkansas-Little Rock Trojans Prediction
Given the fact that Little Rock gets this game at home and perhaps most prevailing and compelling of all, the Trojans are the sitting Sun Belt Conference Champion, a 30-game winner in the 2015-16 campaign and author of the upset of a #5 seed Purdue in the first round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, the Trojans may seem to be a sexier pick from first glance. Though the two teams have identical records, the Red Wolves have played a much stronger compared to that of the Trojans, even more so in out-of-conference applications. Little Rock has benefitted from some good calls and thus the records are not truly reflective of the quality of each team. The Red Wolves are a dangerous team to overlook, as this is a team that beat Georgetown, Tennessee-Martin and Chattanooga on the road. In some of these contests, the take back in terms of points for the Red Wolves was enormous and showcases how undervalued this team can truly be. Contrarily, the Trojans have been overvalued all season long and this scenario sets them up for yet another let down. The Red Wolves are once again in a great spot to be a live dog and defeat their arch rival on their own court. Tremendous value on the Red Wolves.
