Arkansas’ Depth May be Advantage

Oral Roberts has Abmas and Obanor, but Arkansas has the depth and versatility that can give the Golden Eagles problems.

You know all about SEC Freshman of the Year Moses Moody, Justin Smith, and SEC Sixth Man of the Year JD Notae, but the Razorbacks have a lot more depth that could give them the advantage. Arkansas has nine players consistently in their rotation capable of producing in any game, each of whom averages 10+ MPG and 3+ PPG.

This depth will play a role on both ends of the court. The Razorbacks have size on the inside including Jaylin Williams and Connor Vanover and have guards such as Davonte Davis and Desi Sills capable of scoring and bringing it defensively.

The Razorbacks have the depth needed to advance further in the NCAA Tournament. Oral Roberts has the pieces needed to give Arkansas problems, but the depth of the Razorbacks may prove to be a bigger advantage if they can get key contributions from their bench.
