We’ve spotlighted heavyweight matchups in the Big Ten and Big 12 this week, so let’s shift the focus to the SEC.

Arkansas (19-6, 9-3 SEC) heads to Tuscaloosa tonight to face Alabama (18-7, 8-4) (7 ET, ESPN). The Crimson Tide is a 4-point favorite at Circa Sports, but the real betting buzz surrounds the Total — 184 at Circa and 182.5 at DraftKings.

Adam Burke flags a compelling nugget from our friends at KillerSports.com in his preview:

This will be the 14th college basketball game this season with a total of 180 or higher. Those games have gone 10-3 to the Under. Alabama has already played four games with Totals of 180+, splitting 2-2 O/U.

The Total is also under the microscope in Adam’s breakdown of BYU-Arizona (9 ET, ESPN).
