Acuff & Burries Prop Bets: Razorbacks vs Wildcats

0:00On March 25, Arkansas Razorbacks faced the top-seated Arizona Wildcats in the Sweet 16 on Thursday, March 26. The Razorbacks hoped to win with speed and athleticism, but experts see Arizona as the stronger team in that style. One betting pick stands out, freshman Darius A-Cuff Jr., going over 25.5 points at plus 100 odds. A-Cuff has hit that points mark in four of his last six games, including against tournament teams. He's Arkansas's main scoring threat, carrying the load as the games get tougher. Meanwhile, Arizona's defense struggles inside the arc, letting opponents shoot over 50% on closed shots. That plays right into Razorback's guard, Braden Burries, who set for over 18.5 points at plus 105 odds. Burries excels at the rim with clean looks, likely coming his way. A-Cuff also shines from deep, ranking 23rd nationally, at 44.6% on threes. He's cleared over 2.5 threes in four of six March games, shooting over 50% from outside lately, with odds at minus 1.35.
