HAWGBEAT'S PICKS (13-19 for basketball)
Each week, HawgBeat will list a few picks that look favorable based on trends and statistics throughout the season.
Anthony Black OVER 12.5 points
The five-star freshman just seems to shine when the lights are bright. The college basketball world became aware of Black when he scored 26 points in back-to-back games at the Maui Invitational back in November. He showed signs of that potential in Thursday's win over Auburn by scoring 19 points and recording six rebounds, six assists and two steals.
Black has averaged 13.5 points in 19 SEC games and if Arkansas has a shot at beating the Aggies, he will need to show up offensively.
Makhi and Makhel Mitchell combined over 12.5 points, over 7.5 rebounds and over 2.5 blocks (+850)
The two games that Arkansas played Texas A&M in the regular season featured a healthy dose of the Mitchell twins.
Each saw success against the Aggies, as Makhel scored nine, brought down 13 rebounds and had seven blocks in Arkansas' 81-70 win on Jan. 31. Makhi saw more success in the second contest — a 65-56 loss on Feb. 15 — when he scored 11 and had nine rebounds.
All of these overs hit in the first two games, and there's a solid shot they do once again on Friday.
