-Dating back to Jan. 15 (at Tennessee), Arkansas is closing a nine-game span that includes six road games (at then #3 Tennessee, at then #18 Ole Miss, at then #13 Texas Tech, at then #19 LSU, at South Carolina Saturday and at Missouri Tuesday).
-The Razorbacks are one of two teams in the league to finish .500 or better in SEC play each of the last six years. However, Arkansas will close the regular season with home game in each of the final four Saturdays (Mississippi State on Feb. 16, Texas A&M on Feb. 23, Ole Miss on Mar. 2 and Alabama on Mar. 9 for the regular-season finale).
-Daniel Gafford, one of 10 candidates for the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award, is one of five players in the NCAA to shoot 60 percent from the field while averaging over 15 points and eight rebounds. Others include Eric Carter (Delaware), Matt Rafferty (Furman), Raasean Davis (NC Central) and Zion Williamson (Duke).
-Arkansas forced 21 turnovers at South Carolina and only committed 14. It was the first time this season the Razorbacks committed fewer than 15 turnovers and lost (9-1). Over the last six games, Arkansas has forced 20-plus turnovers four times. On offense over the last six games, Arkansas is only turning the ball over 13.0 times, including a season-low four versus Georgia.
-Isaiah Joe has made 82 3-pointers with the Arkansas record by a freshman being 83 by Rotnei Clarke in 2009.

- When Mason Jones nailed a 3-pointer for Arkansas’ first points at South Carolina Saturday, it marked the 1,000th consecutive game the Razorbacks have made at least one 3-pointer.
• The Razorbacks own the fifth-longest streak in the NCAA for consecutive games with a 3-pointer made (through Saturday).
1. UNLV 1,068
2. Vanderbilt 1,054
3. Duke 1,044
4. Western Kentucky 1,001
5. Arkansas 1,000
• The last time the Razorbacks were shutout was an 0-for-2 outing at Texas on Jan. 7, 1989. After that, the current streak began when Keith Wilson hit a trey versus TCU on Jan. 11, 1989.
• UNLV and Vanderbilt have made a 3-pointer in every game since the NCAA adopted the rule (as has Princeton, but the Tigers have only played 925 games). Kentucky is the only other team to make a 3-pointer in over 1,000 games. However, the Wildcats’ streak ended last March at 1,047 games.
