Both teams play at an extremely high pace. Arkansas plays at the 17th fastest pace in the nation. Colgate plays at the 25th fastest pace. The Raiders' offense is very efficient, and they are one of the best three-point shooting teams at 40 percent from the field. Colgate's offense ranks 44th in offensive efficiency and a mediocre 139th in defensive efficiency. Arkansas is 8-3 to the over away from home. Colgate is 5-2 to the over in its last seven games.
No. 14 Colgate vs. No. 3 Arkansas from South Region. This might be the most "off" spread of the first round as the Raiders are an excellent team and have an NCAA NET ranking of No. 9 nationally -- the Razorbacks are 14th. I'm not saying the Patriot League Tournament champions will knock off the Hogs, but it certainly won't surprise me and I can't imagine Colgate loses by double digits. This might be the most entertaining first-round matchup in terms of styles as both play super-fast and score a ton of points.
