Looking for a 3-0 start for the fifth time in the last six years, the Arkansas men’s basketball team welcomes Fresno State to town Friday evening for a 7 p.m. tip-off in Bud Walton Arena.
The #Fastest40 Facts
• For the first time in the last 70 years, Arkansas has opened the season with back-to-back wins of at least 28 points.
• Arkansas’ 16 dunks are the most of the Mike Anderson era through two games. The next two fastest teams to reach 16 dunks were the 2013-14 and 2014-15 teams, which needed five games each.
• The Razorbacks have scored 95-plus points in their first two games of the season for the first time in 21 years.
• The last time Arkansas led by 20+ points at halftime in the first two games of the season was during the 1993-94 National Championship season.
• The Razorbacks are averaging 98.0 points in their first two games of the season, which is tied for the sixth-highest average in program history and the best mark of the Mike Anderson era.
• Arkansas has a +50 scoring margin in the first half this season, outscoring Samford by 28 and Bucknell by 22 in the opening period.
• For just the second time since joining the SEC, Arkansas had three players with six-plus assists in the season opener against Samford.
• Arkansas recorded 28 assists in the season opener, marking the third time in the 21st century and the second time in the Anderson era the Razorbacks had 28-plus assists in a game.
• During the last seven years, Arkansas is 40-3 when dishing out 20 assists, including a 28-1 mark in non-conference play.
A LOOK AT THE OTHER GUYS
• Fresno State (2-0) has opened its 2017-18 season with
double-digit wins over UC Santa Cruz (96-65) and Cal-
State Northridge (89-73).
• Fresno State returns two All-Mountain West
honorees in senior guard Jaron Hopkins and junior
guard Deshon Taylor.
• Fresno is coming off its second straight postseason
appearance and third in the last four seasons, with a
trip to the NIT last season.

from the fresno state board.
Youtube Link Arkansas vs. Fresno State 11/29/1997 Highlights of the Razorbacks 70-69 win over the #12 Bulldogs in Phoenix. It was the first ever meeting between the two teams.

Well, the Bulldogs head to my parent's home State to take on the Razorbacks. This will be a great opportunity to to showcase our talented team. Should be a good game. I like the Dogs defense and improved offense. A close prediction in a defensive game. Dogs 68 Hogs 67
quote:
Arkansas is good. They're a legitimate top-40 team. The 'dogs whipped CSUN, but Arkansas is a world away from that. I'd love to come away with the upset but i just don't trust an RT team to close out on the road.
quote:
With a veteran backcourt anything's possible. You can see the experience playing dividends already. They are definitely playing better in the beginning of this year than they were last year. Experience players been through the wars they know what it takes to win on the road.
quote:
Upset? The season just started; how do you know Arkansas is the better team? They’re not expected to challenge for the SEC title. Both teams definitely have talent. Let’s play the game and allow the results to determine who’s the better team.
