- This will be the 44th meeting between Arkansas and Kentucky. The Razorbacks trail in the series, 11-32, but are 7-7 in Fayetteville.

- The last time Arkansas defeated Kentucky was a season sweep both in overtime in 2014. The Hogs won at home, 87-85 in OT on a Michael Qualls dunk at the buzzer one of the top plays of the decade for Razorback athletics. Later, Arkansas won 71-67 in OT in Rupp Arena.

- LAST SEASON IN RUPP: Immanuel Quickley made two free throws with one second left to secure a 70-66 victory for the fourth-ranked Kentucky Wildcats over Arkansas.

- The Razorbacks were down one, 66-65, with 12 seconds left after a Mason Jones 3-pointer. Tyler Herro, who scored a game-high 29 points, made two free throws to give Kentucky a three-point lead with five ticks left. The Wildcats chose to foul Jalen Harris in the back-court to keep the Razorbacks from attempting a game-tying 3-pointer. Harris made the first free throw and intentionally missed the second. A violation on the second attempt gave Kentucky the ball. Arkansas defended Kentucky’s inbound play twice, but Kentucky eventually got the ball in to Quickley, who sealed the win.

- The Razorbacks played a near-perfect first half, committing just one turnover with 10 assists, that led 39-28 Arkansas lead at the break.

- Desi Sills hit two 3-pointers to start the second half and Arkansas built its lead to as many as 15, 45-30. Arkansas also held a 12-point cushion with 14:40 left. Kentucky answered with an 18-3 run to take a 3-point lead, 54-51, with 7:07 left and never relinquished the lead.

- Joe led the Razorbacks with 19 points, making 5-of-7 from 3-point range. Sills had 15 points Daniel Gafford, who missed most of the first after getting two quick fouls, finished with 14 points and eight rebounds, including 12 points and seven rebounds in the second half.

- Jimmy Whitt Jr., scored a career-high 30 points and grabbed eight rebounds to lead Arkansas to a 75-55 victory over Vanderbilt.

- Reggie Chaney (6-of-6 FG and 2-of-2 FT) tied his career-high with 14 points while Desi Sills contributed 13 points and a career-high seven rebounds.

- Whitt’s career-high 30 points were unexpected as the game featured 3 of the top 10 scorers in the SEC Mason Jones (#2 in scoring in the SEC) and Isaiah Joe (#4) as well as Vanderbilt’s Saben Lee (#10).

- All three went scoreless in the first half.
^ Lee scored his first points a dunk and free throw at 17:24 of the second half. Lee finished with 17 points.
^ Joe made his first basket a deep 3-pointer at 16:47. Joe would make back-to-back 3-pointers for a 10-point Razorback lead (43-33). Joe finished with 12 points.
^ Jones’ first point came on free throw at 5:35. He finished with eight assists one shy of his career high.

- After Lee’s first points and old-fashion 3-point play at 17:24 the Commodores got to within four (37-33). However, that is as close as they would get. Arkansas got the back-to-back 3-pointers from Joe to lead by 10 and held a double-digit advantage the rest of the way.

- Arkansas out-rebounded Vanderbilt 38-30. It was just the fourth time Arkansas has out-rebounded an opponent this season.

- Vanderbilt entered the game first in the SEC in 3-point percentage (.375) and second in the SEC in 3-pointers made (9.5). The Razorbacks held Vandy to just 5-of-20 (25%).

- Vanderbilt had zero steals (entered the game fifth in the SEC by averaging 7.6 steals per game. The last time an Arkansas opponent had zero steals was North Texas on Jan. 3, 2004.

- Arkansas tied a season high with 19 assists

- Arkansas has only trailed by double digits twice this season at Indiana and at Ole Miss. Both deficits were 11 points in the second half and both games Arkansas won.

- AT INDIANA after going down 11, Arkansas closed out the game on a 32-14 run, including a 19-3 run over the game’s final 8:08.
^ At one point, the Hoosiers missed eight consecutive shots. In fact, Arkansas’ defense held the Hoosiers scoreless from the field for nearly eight minutes (8:08 mark of the 2nd half until 21.3 seconds left), interrupted only by one made free throw (at 3:17).
^ Trayce Jackson-Davis scored 20 points, but just four in the second half and he did not attempt a field goal the final nine minutes of the game.
^ After Isaiah Joe drained three 3-pointers to cut an 11-point deficit a 2-point game, Indiana went on a run to go up nine, 61-52 at the 9:01 mark. It was from that point Arkansas went on its 19-3 run to end the game and get the win.

- AT OLE MISS after going down 11 with 14:20 to go Arkansas went on an 11-4 run with seven pints coming from Isaiah Joe (including a 4-point play) with 10:33 to play.
^ Down nine with 7:11 to play, Arkansas went on an 11-2 run to tie the game at 64 with 5:33 left. The run was bolstered by a 5-point play (Joe made a 3-pointer and Adrio Bailey was fouled under the basket. Bailey made both free throws.)
^ Down four with 4:33 to play, Arkansas closed the game on a 12-4 run, including eight points from Joe, who had two steals inside the final 2:33.
^ INSIDE THE FINAL 7 MINUTES: Arkansas out-scored Ole Miss 25-10. - Arkansas forced 5 turnovers and blocked three shots - Ole Miss was 3-of-12 FG / Breein Tyree was 1-of-4 FG (a layup with 12 seconds left)

- Arkansas also TRAILED LATE IN THE SECOND HALF VS. VALPO. Arkansas was down five (63-58) with 4:14 left in the game but went on a 12-2 run.

- Isaiah Joe started the run at the 3:50 mark, making three free throws when he was fouled attempting a 3-pointer from the top of the key.

- DEFENSIVE STOP 1: With 1:30 remaining and the Hogs down three, Joe got a steal and fed Jones for a 3-pointer from the left wing to knot the game, 65-65.

- DEFENSIVE STOP 2: On Valpo’s ensuing possession, Jimmy Whitt Jr., got a steal and Jones drained a triple with 53 seconds left for a 3-point Razorback lead.

- DEFENSIVE STOP 3: For the third consecutive defensive possession, Arkansas got a defensive stop as Bailey came through with the play of the game. The Crusaders’ leading scorer, Javon Freeman-Liberty, drove the basket and Bailey blocked the layup attempt. Joe gathered the rebound, was fouled and sank two free throws to cap the run for a five-point lead with 36 seconds left.

I thought Ark had a good chance here, but you’ve gone and jinx’d it.
