Gamble College Sports: Arkansas-Little Rock Trojans at Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (1/21)
GAMBLE COLLEGE SPORTS — January 21
ARKANSAS-LITTLE ROCK at WESTERN KENTUCKY
(Gamble College Sports Line: Western Kentucky -1, Total 125.5) — Ouch! UALR was rolling along with ten straight covers in the pointspread until running into Louisiana-Lafayette the other night, and the Ragin’ Cajuns stopped them cold, holding them to just 25% shooting and creating another barren evening from beyond the three-point arc. Listen- we won’t guarantee anything about the way UALR is going to shoot from one night to the next, but they do have some defensive chops, and Western Kentucky couldn’t hit the side of a barn most nights; only ten teams in the entire country are more wild than this team that has converted only 38% of its attempts. Furthermore, WKU going through a coaching transition that includes a lame duck mentor, with Ray Harper having taken over the program just a couple of weeks ago. very little real size is on hand for the Hilltoppers, and perhaps Will Neighbor (0 for 5 vs. ULL) can get things going for UALR.
