The thing about arkansas is that they've played every game at home all year except for one...which they lost...to missouri polytechnical and recreation state. That's troublesome.
More troublesome is that their best defensive stat is opp. low FT%; we're not talking about how many times they foul, but rather how bad their opponent has been at making free shots. That's gonna even out as the year progresses, and that'll mean that OT wins vs SE Louisiana, and 2 pt wins over So. bama are gonna result in losses to the likes of carolina and the mississippis.
Maybe even more worrisome is that their opponents shoot 38% of their shots from behind the arc, which means when you play better shooters those numbers are gonna rise(although don't ask texas about that), or alternately you might start dealing with teams that have a better inside game that can expose you(note here that arky doesnt particularly block well in the box, nor do they force difficult shots inside--from what I've seen).
I don't buy the arky hype, but this guy did and it
proved a solid call, for now.
Id go:
1. UT
2. KU
3. FL
4. SC
5. VY
6. ARK
7. AU
8. MSt
9. LSU
10. Bama
11. Miss
12. Georgia
