About Arkansas (12-5, 1-4 SEC):

The team’s only win was a 74-68 win over Missouri earlier this month in Fayetteville. In the first meeting, the Tigers jumped out to a 25-8 lead midway through the first half, but Arkansas’ size posed problems for Missouri in the second half. The Razorbacks held the rebounding advantage over the Tigers 37-22.
This is the Razorbacks’ fourth road conference game and they’ve lost two by double digits. Ricky Council IV is the scorer to watch as he leads the team with 18.3 points per game and tallied 25 in the first matchup. Trevon Brazile, a Missouri transfer, will not play due to a torn ACL earlier this year.
