Arkansas at USC

Arkansas expended a lot of energy trying to make the dance, and it took them 3 wins in the SEC conference tourney to find a way in. USC has been one of the best defending teams in the country holding opponents to 39% shooting. Arkansas is not a great offensive team to begin with as they shoot in the 44% range. That 4 games in 4 days took its toll on Arkansas. They shot progressively poorer as the tourney went on. They went from 47,46,43, to 36, and it may show itself in the 2nd half in this one vs a team that defends with the best of them. We exect a close game early, with USC pulling away in the last 10 minutes.
