It’s hard to win when you don’t work as a unit and post 12 fewer assists than your opponent, a fact Cent. Arkansas found out the hard way on Wednesday. They were dealt a punishing 100-56 defeat at the hands of the Wildcats. The over/under was set at 155.5 points, so nice work oddsmakers; you were right on the money.

The last time the Bears won on the road was back last Monday. Having now lost four straight away matchups, they’ve bumped their record down to 1-5.

As for the Eagles, they now have a winning record of 3-2.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Cent. Arkansas have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 37.5 rebounds per game.
