My 8* EARLY RISER is on Mississippi State/Arkansas under the total at 12:00 EST. This is a critical end-of-season SEC matchup on Saturday afternoon. Mississippi State comes to town at 20-10, while Arkansas is 18-12. Arkansas will look for a strong finish here on Senior Night as it looks to solidify its spot in the NCAA Tournament that starts in just over a week. The Bulldogs lost in heartbreaking fashion at home last time out, losing 87-72 in OT to Texas on Tuesday. The Bulldogs have lost three of four and need a win here as well to help their cause on Selection Sunday. The Razorbacks will have to be careful to not have a letdown here following a huge road upset over Vanderbilt last time out, holding on for the 90-77 victory. Trevon Brazile had 16 points and 14 rebounds. Arkansas is great on the defensive end, ranked 15th in the country and in this crucial final home game, I think the Razorbacks put an added focus onto that end of the court. Arkansas is 12-4 at home this year and the Razorbacks will be looking to control the pace of this one from the opening tip, until the final horn. This number is high in my opinion, so the play is the under.
