Texas Longhorns vs Arkansas Razorbacks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Wednesday, 02/26/25

This should be a tense SEC battle as both teams are currently tied in 11th place, but only one team will emerge victorious and move their way up in the standings after tonight’s matchup.  Both Texas and Arkansas are 5-9 in conference play and also have an identical overall record of 16-11.  The last time these two teams met, Arkansas defeated the Longhorns on their home court 78-70, and tonight, Texas will be looking for revenge as they know the NCAA Tournament committee will be taking everything into consideration with only a few games left of the regular season.  

I believe Arkansas has a little bit more momentum than the Longhorns right now after pulling off a surprising 92-85 victory over Missouri.  Arkansas has won 2 of its last 5, but 3 of those losses came against Alabama, Texas A&M and Auburn, all top-10 teams, and Arkansas was within striking distance in all of those matchups.  As for Texas, they had a solid victory over then No. 15 Kentucky, but they have lost 4 of their last 5, which includes a 84-69 loss to South Carolina on Saturday.  On the season, Texas is averaging 78.3 points per game while giving up 69.8, and Arkansas is averaging 76.1 points per game while giving up 69.4.  Both teams are similar on offense and defense, rebounding the ball and turnovers this season.  I believe Arkansas has been a little bit more consistent as of late, despite their losses, and Texas is trending in the wrong direction as the season comes near a close.  I think Arkansas has what it takes to cover the small spread.
