Arkansas will try to rebound from a heartbreaking 86-83 loss to #2 Alabama over the weekend as they head to Knoxville to take on #12 Tennessee. The Razorbacks (19-10) are in NCAA tournament crunch time and need a win on Tuesday night or a deep run in the conference tournament to find themselves in the field of 68. The Volunteers (21-8) aim to bounce back from a couple of late season losses and build steam for the postseason.
Before Betting on Arkansas vs Tennessee
Arkansas had #2 Alabama on the ropes over the weekend, leading 37-28 on the road at the half but being outscored 58-46 after the break in the 86-83 loss. The defeat drops the Razorbacks to 8-8 in the conference but perhaps more worrisome for Tuesday’s game is their 2-7 road record heading to Knoxville where Tennessee has gone 15-2.
Tennessee has rebounded from road losses at Kentucky (66-54) and Texas A&M (68-63) to pick up a much needed 85-45 over South Carolina over the weekend. That victory was almost a given considering the Gamecocks are one of the worst teams in the SEC and the Vols were a -21.5 point favorite so the quality of competition ramps up a bit here.
Tennessee is very good at home, but they are not invincible as seen by the 86-85 loss to Missouri earlier in the month as -12 point favorites. The Volunteers do have one of the nation’s best defenses overall however, ranking 3rd in the country giving up just 56.7 ppg but Arkansas is also a top 25 shooting team with a 48.3% fg rate.

Arkansas vs Tennessee Prediction & Pick
The home team usually comes out on top in these matchups (5-2 ATS last 7), but the last two meetings in Knoxville have been close, 79-74 and 78-74 in favor of the Vols. Tennessee has scored at least 78 points in their last five home meetings with Arkansas which already gets you very close to Tuesday night’s somewhat low total.
