Missouri vs. Arkansas CBB Prediction:
I’m not betting against this Mizzou team right now. Is this a potential letdown spot for the Tigers, who are coming off the big win over Alabama? Yes, but it’s not as if Mizzou was ranked high entering the season. This is the same program that didn’t win a conference game last season. They’re 7-3 in their last 10 games overall and are 8-2 against the number over that span. They’re playing outstanding basketball right now.
