The No. 12 seed High Point Panthers look to continue their Cinderella run as they face the No. 4 Arkansas Razorbacks in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday.
The total for this game is set at a lofty 168.5, and my High Point vs. Arkansas predictions expect a lot of those points to come from Trevon Brazile.
Here are my best free March Madness picks for this West Region showdown on March 20.
High Point vs Arkansas prediction
Who will win High Point vs Arkansas?
Arkansas: The High Point Panthers needed 21 points in the final five minutes to upset Wisconsin 83-82. That included a pair of threes from two guys that shoot 30% from deep and 11 points from Chase Johnston, who came in averaging just 6.1 ppg.
The Panthers would need more outlier performances to pull off another upset, and that won't happen against the Arkansas Razorbacks' superior athleticism and size.
High Point vs Arkansas best bet: Trevon Brazile Over 14.5 points (-110)
Despite playing an extremely weak schedule, High Point ranks 43rd in the country in adjusted tempo and just 175th in opponent 2-point percentage (51.6%).
The Panthers were torched by Wisconsin’s guards in the first round and were fortunate the Badgers lacked frontcourt scoring to expose High Point’s size issues.
Arkansas forward Trevon Brazile can do exactly that. He’s coming off a 19-point performance despite shooting just 1-for-7 from deep, and he has scored 16+ points in five of his last six games.
COVERS INTEL: The Panthers rank fifth in opponent TO rate (21.7%), but the Razorbacks turn the ball over at the lowest rate in the country (12.3%).
High Point vs Arkansas same-game parlay
With Brazile getting buckets, point guard Darius Acuff Jr. will likely be setting him up. The superstar freshman has dropped 7+ assists in three straight games.
Since we're backing two of the Razorbacks best offensive players, the team total Over also makes sense. After all, they are the second-highest scoring team in the country and scored 97 points in the first round despite shooting just 4-for-21 from deep.
