HAWGBEAT'S PICKS (1-2 for basketball)
Each week, HawgBeat will list a few picks that look favorable based on trends and statistics throughout the season.
Ricky Council IV OVER 2.5 assists (-105)
Council's scoring prowess has been no secret this season, as his 19.2 points per game lead the SEC. While he is averaging under three assists per game, he has recorded at least that many in five of his 10 games as a Razorback, so there is effectively a 50-50 chance he does so again Saturday.
Ricky Council IV and Nick Smith Jr. OVER 15.5 points each (+200)
Since the latter made his first collegiate start two weeks ago, this duo has combined for 110 points during the last three games. Council has led the team in scoring in five of 10 games, and Smith has posted back-to-back 20-point performances to follow his 16-piece in what he called his debut game.
During the three-game stretch, this special has been 2-3, with the Hogs' win over UNC Greensboro marking the only time it failed to hit. As long as Council produces in the first half, bettors can feel good about taking it.
