The Arkansas Razorbacks have won 21-straight non-conference games inside Bud Walton Arena<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Michigan takes a break from Big Ten Conference play and will take on the Arkansas Razorbacks inside Bud Walton Arena Saturday.\u00a0 The Wolverines are coming off an emotional 60-59 win over the Michigan State Spartans as two-point home underdogs, improving to 5-2 in conference play and 12-0 at home.\u00a0 \u201cMy job is to be a better coach every day and get these guys to be better players every day,\u201d commented Wolverines head coach John Beilein.\u00a0 Michigan is 7-1 in its last eight Saturday games.<\/p>\n

The Wolverines currently have two players averaging double figures in scoring, with Tim Hardaway Jr. leading the way in averaging 15.4 points per game.\u00a0 Guard Trey Burke is another player to watch on the perimeter, as he\u2019s second among Big Ten freshman in scoring 14.6 points per game.\u00a0 Over his last seven games, he has 40 assists and just 16 turnovers.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to note that the program will come into this affair with a dismal 1-3 mark on the road.<\/p>\n

Arkansas is coming off a loss at Kentucky Tuesday night and has alternated wins and losses over its last four games.\u00a0 The Razorbacks have won 11 straight in Fayetteville, but nobody within the program is taking Saturday\u2019s opponent lightly.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s an out-of-conference game, but it\u2019s a big one,\u201d commented Razorbacks head coach Mike Anderson.\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019re playing against a ranked opponent, a very good team.\u201d\u00a0 Offensively, the team has one starter averaging double figures in points, with sophomore Mardracus Wade pouring in 11.1 points per game.\u00a0 Arkansas is 4-1 ATS in its last five home games.<\/p>\n

The Razorbacks are outscoring their opponents by 9.4 points per game, as they enter with a 17-19 record against current Big Ten Conference teams.\u00a0 Arkansas has had success against ranked teams, posting an 82-116 record.\u00a0 The program will enter with a 21-game non-conference win streak when hosting teams inside Bud Walton Arena, while going 250-62 all-time inside the building.\u00a0 Wade will need to knock some shots down on the perimeter, ranking first in the Southeastern Conference in three-point accuracy.<\/p>\n

Bettors will likely back the Razorbacks due to their 5-2 ATS mark following a loss of 20-plus points, while the Wolverines are 2-5 ATS following a spread win.<\/p>\n
