Line: Arkansas -7.5, Total:137 (current NCAA Tournament point spreads and totals)
Wofford Record: 28-6 ATS: 16-14 OVER/UNDER: 15-7 Overview: Wofford stood up to a pesky Furman team to win its second straight Southern Conference tournament. The Terriers were a sexy pick as 15-point underdogs vs. Michigan in the second round of last year’s Big Dance but lost by 17, 57-40. When they’ve stepped up in class this season, it generally hasn’t gone well, as they’ve failed to cover big spreads at Stanford (+12.5), at West Virginia (+13) and at Duke (+22). They did win outright at N.C. State as 10-point dogs, 55-54 in December, though.

Arkansas Record: 26-8 ATS: 17-16 OVER/UNDER: 18-14 Overview: All eight losses for the Razorbacks were to power-five schools. Despite a 15-loss to Kentucky in the SEC championship game, they’re in fine form ahead of the Big Dance, winning 13 of their last 17 games outright. As a favorite, Arkansas is a middling 13-13 ATS on the season. Keep an eye on 6-foot-11 sophomore forward Bobby Portis, who took home SEC player of the year honors over Kentucky’s Willie Cauley-Stein.
