Texas vs. Arkansas Key Player to Watch

Darius Acuff Jr., G - Arkansas Razorbacks

Darius Acuff Jr. is one of the best guards in the SEC, leading the Razorbacks in both points per game (22.0) and assists (6.2). He has a unique task tonight when he has to face Dailyn Swain in what will end up being a 1-on-1 showdown between another dominant guard who leads his team in several categories. The Acuff Jr. vs. Swain showdown tonight is going to be must-watch television.

Texas vs. Arkansas Prediction and Pick

In today's edition of Daily Dunk, I broke down why I'm betting the OVER in tonight's SEC duel:

Both of these SEC teams are all offense, no defense. They rank 23rd and 49th in effective field goal percentage, but they also rank 196th and 226th in defensive efficiency. That alone should lead to this being a high-scoring affair, but it would help if the two teams also play at a fast pace.

Thankfully, Arkansas plays at one of the fastest paces in college basketball, ranking 24th in adjusted tempo. If they can push Texas to speed up its play, we could see plenty of points being scored in tonight's SEC duel.

Pick: OVER 164.5 (-110)
