HAWGBEAT'S PICKS (14-22 for basketball)
Each week, HawgBeat will list a few picks that look favorable based on trends and statistics throughout the season.
Davonte Davis over 10.5 points and over 4.5 rebounds parlay (+200)
Arkansas is going to have to need a big game from Davis once again on Thursday. He scored 16 in the first round against Illinois and 25 in the second round upset over Kansas, so it's clear that he's going to be an offensive go-to even if Nick Smith Jr. shows up.
As far as rebounds go, it is going to be all hands on deck against a really good rebounding team in UConn. Davis brought down six boards against the Illini and eight against the Jayhawks, so I see him hitting the mark of at least five against the Huskies.
Anthony Black, Ricky Council and Davonte Davis over 34.5 points and over 3.5 threes made combined (+650)
This is my favorite of the specials and player prop options. Council and Davis hit the combined points total by themselves with 36 combined points against Kansas, while Black added four points for some extra cushion.
The sketchy part will be hoping for the three of them to combine for four made threes, but UConn will likely do whatever it can to force Arkansas to win the game by shooting threes rather than driving inside like it wants to. While shooting threes isn't a recipe for success for the Razorbacks, it would help this bet to hit at great odds.
