What our lean is, and isn’t

The team averages 90.7 points scored and 67.0 allowed per game while shooting 50 percent from the field and 38 percent from three, with 43.3 rebounds, 20.3 assists and 13.3 turnovers per game.

Ty Robinson leads in scoring at 14.7 points per game, Andrew Hoerner averages 3.3 assists and Cole McCormick grabs 5.3 rebounds per game, numbers that reflect an offense capable of high outputs on the road.

Arkansas outlook

Arkansas sits at 2-1 overall and 2-0 at home after a 76-53 win over Robert Morris on Nov 11 that came after a 91-72 loss to Virginia on Nov 8 and a 106-61 win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Nov 3.

The squad averages 84.7 points scored and 68.3 allowed per game while shooting 50 percent from the field and 35 percent from three, with 41.3 rebounds, 18.0 assists and 12.0 turnovers per game.

Jeremiah Wilkinson leads in scoring at 14.7 points per game, Davion Thompson averages 4.0 assists and Cooper Bowser grabs 8.0 rebounds per game, figures that align with a balanced attack in front of the home crowd.

Key matchup

Central Arkansas produces 90.7 points per game against defenses while Arkansas allows 68.3, a contrast that could shape the pace when the visitors test the home side's interior presence led by an 8.0 rebound average.

Now: numbers as published on ESPN at the time shown, a snapshot, not a live price. Opened: the first DraftKings line we recorded, Nov 12, 6:40 PM ET. Change: points for spreads and totals, cents for prices (−110 to −120 is −10¢).

No-vig % removes the book's margin from each market's prices, and hold is that margin: arithmetic on these numbers, not a forecast or a betting-split feed.
