Vanderbilt vs. Arkansas Prediction
I’m on Arkansas here. It’s been a wildly disappointing year for Arkansas as this is a Razorback team that’s made three straight sweet 16 appearances under Eric Musselman, but this year hasn’t gone according to plan despite having another talented roster. Still, the Hogs have been playing better lately, while Vandy hasn’t had much to show for another disastrous season. The Commodores normally lose big when they do and I think this game’s no different. Give me Arkansas.
