Arkansas Razorbacks
Arkansas hadn’t been 8–0 since 1997 but that’s its record here in 2019, Eric Musselman’s first year as head coach.

After four seasons at Nevada that culminated with three consecutive Mountain West titles, Musselman took the money and an opportunity to be a head coach in the SEC. The timing made sense with so many seniors graduating from his Nevada program at the end of last season.
The Wolf Pack wasn’t a defensive force until Musselman’s fourth year, when it was twenty-second in the country.
This season, hitherto, Arkansas has emerged as the top defense in the country with a defensive rating of 73.2 points allowed per 100 possessions. And Musselman has done it without a flurry of transfers like he had at Nevada.
Two of the eight Arkansas players that log at least a dozen minutes per game are transfers, including Jimmy Whitt, who started his career at Arkansas four years ago as a top 100 freshman in the class of 2015. He eventually transferred to SMU for two seasons before returning to Arkansas as a senior.
Western Kentucky Hilltoppers
The Razorbacks have only played one true road game and it was a one-point win, in overtime, against Georgia Tech. This game here qualifies as at least as tough a test, if not more so.

Western Kentucky has talent. The Hilltoppers have not only returned Taveion Hollingsworth, Jared Savage and Josh Anderson from a team that won twenty games before losing a close game to Old Dominion in the Conference USA Tournament championship game but they got a surprise when Charles Bassey passed up the chance to be a first round NBA pick and signed on for another season at WKU.
Bassey is the sort of physical prospect scouts covet and he has the chance to play his way into not only the first round but the top five.
So far, however, he may be trying to do too much. He’s attempting more outside shots this season and making less than one out of every six of his three-pointer attempts.
CBB Betting Trends:
- Under is 21-5 in ARK last 26 non-conference games.
- Under is 38-16 in ARK last 54 overall.
- ARK are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall.
- Under is 7-3 in WKU last 10 Sat. games.
Free Arkansas Razorbacks vs. Western Kentucky Hilltoppers NCAAB Prediction: defense travels but WKU gets it done at home.
Your writer was perhaps a little too infatuated with Western Kentucky last season. The talent is (and was) undeniable but the Hilltoppers were — and may still be — missing leadership.
They will win games with the talent alone. The combination of guards with Bassey in the middle will give defenses headaches.
Arkansas won’t break but may not yet be up to the task of beating such a strong team in its own gym quite yet. Each of its last three games against lesser opponents have been close. This one goes to the home team.
