LITTLE ROCK — Football penciled in for Arkansas’ open dates and confident the Nick Starkel-led Razorbacks can handle San Jose State, the window is now for review of the SEC basketball schedule that appears kind to Eric Musselman’s first Razorback team.
The premise that professional oddsmakers are adept at identifying deserved betting favorites validates introduction of their opinion that Kentucky is the team to beat in the SEC. The Wildcats are 3-1, followed by Florida at 9-2 and Auburn at 7-1.
Arkansas is one of the five other conference teams that play each of those three only once, and both Kentucky and Auburn are at Bud Walton Arena.
