The High Point Panthers pulled off the biggest upset of the first day of NCAA Tournament action, taking down the Wisconsin Badgers in a 12 v 5 matchup.

Things won't get easier for them in the Round of 32 when they take on the Arkansas Razorbacks, fresh off a dominant 97-78 victory against Hawaii.

High Point vs. Arkansas Best Prop Bet

Trevon Brazile 10+ Points (-104)

Darius Acuff Jr. is going to be the player to watch in this game, but Trevon Brazile could have an above-average game on the scoresheet. The 6'10 forward is going to face a High Point team that has struggled defending the interior this season. They rank 175th in opponent two-point field goal percentage, which could lead to a big game from Brazile.

High Point vs. Arkansas Prediction and Pick

As great as High Point looked in the opening round, they had a strong stylistic matchup against Wisconsin, whereas Arkansas is the opposite. High Point can defend the perimeter well, but the Panthers struggle down low, allowing teams to shoot 51.6% from two-point range. That's bad news when facing an Arkansas team that ranks 53rd in the country in two-point shot rate.

Meanwhile, High Point ranks amongst the top teams in the country in three-point shot rate, but the Arkansas defense does a fantastic job of defending the perimeter, keeping teams to shooting just 31.7% from beyond the arc.

Darius Acuff Jr. has been on fire for Arkansas lately, scoring 24+ points in five straight games. He was named SEC player of the year for a reason, and I don't think High Point has a player on its roster that can match up with the Arkansas guard.

I'll lay the points with the Hogs on Saturday.
