- Arkansas ranks fifth the NCAA top 20 and LEADS THE SEC in free throw percentage (.776). Last year, the Hogs were 306th (of 351 teams) in free throw percentage (.668).
- The team’s percentage is bolstered by Mason Jones, who is 21-of-21. However,if you take Jones out of the mix, Arkansas is still shooting .743 from the charity stripe which would still rank third in the SEC.
- Another drastic turnaround has been Arkansas’s ability to play strong defense without fouling. Last year, the Razorbacks were 333rd in the NCAA in committing fouls (694 total - 20.4 avg). This year, Arkansas is 67th in the NCAA/3rd n the SEC in fouls (49 total - 16.3 avg).
