Just a basketball pick. Arkansas preseason top 10, #1 recruit class, finally healthy while Illinois is only trending down. Look at Arkansas sweet 16 odds or further- the talent is there and the number is too long.

M.Mayer u15.5 Pts-115

Averaged 12.1 ppg in the 30 games he played with Terrance Shannon Jr - under in 19/30. He’s a three point shooter - 62% of his shots and 49% of his points are from deep. Arkansas shuts off the three incredibly well, ranking 25th nationally in opp 3P% (30.6%), 5th in opp 3P made (5.1), and 11th in opp 3P rate (30.1%). They are especially adept at stopping above the break threes, which is Mayer’s preferred spot (164 of his 321 total shots are above the break).
