Again playing host, Arkansas Razorbacks will receive the Fordham Rams at Bud Walton Arena on Friday at 8 p.m. ET. This game favors the Razorbacks, who are predicted to win by a margin of 19.5 points.
Monday's game between Arkansas and the North Dakota State Bison wasn't quite a landslide, but it was still a rather conclusive one as Arkansas won 76-58 at home. Ricky Council IV, who scored 22 points, and Trevon Brazile, who recorded a double-double with 21 points and 12 rebounds, were important in Arkansas' victory.
Fordham defeated Dartmouth Big Green on Monday, winning 88-74, with more than enough points to win.

Fordham vs Arkansas Best Picks and Prediction
I'm probably going to guess Fordham. Even though I don't believe the Rams will even come close to winning, they are still capable of keeping up the pace after a strong performance against Dartmouth. Fordham won with a 57.4 percent field goal percentage, 35 rebounds, and nine assists.
In their victory over North Dakota State, Arkansas performed admirably, shooting 49.1 percent from the field and grabbing 40 rebounds. I believe Fordham can secure the spread if they can maintain their shooting efficiency in this contest.
Pick: Fordham +19.5 (-112)
