Arkansas Form
Arkansas booked their place in the Elite Eight of March Madness with a stunning upset of #1 Gonzaga.
The Razorbacks did not come into the national tournament in particularly good form, having lost two of their previous games.
They ended the regular season with a 78-74 loss to #13 Tennessee and managed just one win in the SEC conference tournament before bowing out.
Arkansas downed Louisiana State 79-67 before suffering a convincing 82-64 defeat at the hands of Texas A&M.
They made sure there would be no early exit from March Madness as they beat Vermont 75-71 and New Mexico State 53-48.
The Razorbacks got their offense firing again on Thursday, and it was perfect timing for them.
Arkansas upset #1 Gonzaga 74-68, with JD Notae and Jaylin Williams playing lead roles in the upset.
Notae had 21 points, six rebounds and six assists, while Williams registered 15 points and 12 boards in a double double.

Verdict
Duke are the better team on paper but they have been struggling to cover in recent weeks.
Arkansas have been outstanding in the role of underdog and just KO’d the number one team, so we are backing the Razorbacks against the spread.
Spread – Arkansas +4.0 @ -110
Total Points – Over 147.5 @ -110
