SEC Tournament Prediction: Arkansas-Auburn
According to the current betting market, Arkansas is the slight favorite at -115, with a spread of around 1.5 points. It is important to note that this figure may vary across different platforms. However, regardless of the variation, Arkansas is the team to back. Despite losing their last three games, the Razorbacks have faced some of the toughest competition in Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky. They also had to deal with injuries throughout the season, but they are relatively healthy now, which should give them an edge over Auburn.
On the other hand, Auburn has not been impressive in its performances away from home. With a low shooting accuracy of just over 30% from 3-point range, the Tigers heavily rely on inside scoring and free throws to score points. This makes it difficult for them to keep up with more talented teams like Arkansas, especially in a fast-paced game. Auburn may not have what it takes to win against Arkansas, even in what could be an entertaining game. Ultimately, Arkansas will come out on top.
