Is Arkansas worth another shot at Auburn tonight? It's now five covers in a row for John Calipari, roughly coinciding with the injury to flashy frosh G Boogie Fland. Though Arkansas has actually played better minus Fland, with DJ Wagner able to slide back into a more-natural PG role, and FAU transfer Johnell Davis, who had been struggling the first half of the season, recently scoring 17 pg over a five-game stretch before going a bit cold on Saturday at Texas A&M. We hesitate a bit to go against top-ranked Auburn, but the Tigers are off of a 1 vs. 2 showdown win at Alabama, and have only stretched margin past this spread once in the last eight games. Play Arkansas

This gargantuan number might be an overreaction to Auburn's ultra-impressive win Saturday over Alabama. Arkansas has claimed three of its last five outright, including a defeat to Kentucky, since promoting big man Zvonimir Ivisic into the lineup. He could cause problems for Auburn POY candidate Johni Broome. The Razorbacks are finally playing nearly up to their potential in coach John Calipari's introductory season. He ripped the team after Saturday's hardly shameful loss to Texas A&M. The 'Backs could respond positively against the nation's indisputably No. 1 and keep the final margin close to single digits.
