Connecticut Huskies vs Arkansas Razorbacks Prediction: Can Arkansas pull off another upset?

The NCAA March Madness has hit its peak and what an awesome window this has been. This is a great opportunity to watch the young basketball stars giving their all to represent their college with pride. This time around and we have seen a lot of upsets already. One team that has pulled upsets, the Arkansas Razorbacks, is going to take on Connecticut Huskies.

UConn Huskies had an expected 70:55 win against St. Mary’s in the Second Round. Connecticut did a great job of limiting St Mary to below 40% shooting from the field and fewer than 30% from three-point range. Huskies didn’t allow even a single player from St. Mary to get in double figures. For the Huskies, Adama Sanogo racked up 24 points and eight rebounds. Andre Jackson Jr. and Tristen Newton combined for twelve assists but overall, the team committed 14 turnovers. However, the Huskies shot 54% from the field and 45.5% from the three-point range.

The Razorbacks pulled off a miracle win as they defeated Kansas Jayhawks 72:71 on the back of a 25 points outburst by Davonte Davis. Ricky Council IV aided Davonte in his efforts and put up 21 points to combine for 46 points. Kamani Johnson was a menace on the rebounding end and grabbed six offensive rebounds and ten rebounds in total. Arkansas was amazing on the boards, ending up with 15 offensive rebounds. That helped them overcome a paltry 3/15 three-point shooting. The Razorbacks also made up for it from the free-throw line, having a 21-18 made free-throws advantage. The Razorbacks allowed 48% from the field and two more triples but they did a great job of being aggressive late in the game, especially through their rebounding.

The Razorbacks are amidst a fairy-tale run as an unseeded squad as per the AP Poll. UConn has performed as expected and has been playing some terrific basketball on both ends. It will be interesting how the Razorbacks respond here after having downed a giant earlier. I think the miracle stops here.
