Arkansas Pine Bluff over Prairie View A&M
H.O. Clemmons Arena – Pine Bluff, AR
6:00 PM ET. At first glance, this game between two bottom-dwelling squads might seem like a "who cares" matchup, but hidden in the rubble is an opportunity worth targeting. Arkansas Pine-Bluff (3-13) and Prairie View A&M (3-12) are practically mirror images—both play at a blistering pace (top 35 in tempo) and rank near the basement in scoring defense (363rd and 364th). This one is likely to resemble a glorified pick-up game where nobody guards anybody. The oddsmakers know it too, setting the total at a lofty 166.5.
Conventional wisdom would suggest taking the points in such a high-tempo, high-scoring affair, but we think there’s more to this matchup. Pine Bluff, despite its dismal record, has been perfect at home this season. They’re undefeated in their own gym, while Prairie View is a dismal 1-12 on the road. That lone road win? Against a Mississippi Valley State team so bad they should be relegated to intramurals.
Digging deeper, Pine Bluff is the better shooting team, ranking 72nd in field goal percentage (47.2%) compared to Prairie View’s 163rd (45.5%). In a game where defense will be optional, shooting efficiency takes center stage, and Pine Bluff holds the clear edge. With both defenses looking like revolving doors, this game is essentially a coin flip, and that’s precisely why we’ll take the Pine Bluff outright. LFG!
