- Arkansas played a school-record seven games in November, going 7-0.
- Arkansas will only play five games in December two in Bud Walton Arena, two on the road and one in Little Rock.
- The five games ties for the second-fewest (on record) December games in school history. Arkansas also played just five games in December during the 1996-97; 1988-89 and 1940-41 seasons.
- NOTE: Arkansas only played four games in December of an 18-game season in 1936-37. Arkansas played a program-high 11 games in December during the 1971-72 and 1942-43 seasons

- Arkansas was coming off its first loss and had a week to stew over the setback. The Razorbacks responded in fine fashion with a 98-79 win over Tulsa before the second-best home crowd of the season.
- The Razorbacks speed up the pace, scoring a season-high 98 points and returned to being one of the best front-runners in the nation.
^ Arkansas improved to 7-1 when scoring first.
^ Arkansas improved to 9-0 when leading at halftime.
^ Arkansas has only trailed in the second half once this season a loss at Western Kentucky.
^ Arkansas only trailed for 15 seconds in the first half and have led for over 31 minutes in its nine wins.
^ Arkansas had a 12-0 scoring run for the third time this season, had a double-digit run for the sixth time. No team has had double-digit run versus the Razorbacks.

- Arkansas held Tulsa to 22% shooting from 3-point range, marking the sixth time an opponent has shot 25% or worse. Overall, opponents are a combined 36-of-173 from long range.
^ Arkansas’ 20.8% 3-point defense ranks 2nd NCAA / 1st SEC.
- Arkansas only had four steals in the loss at Western Kentucky but bounced back to get 12 versus Tulsa which is impressive considering Tulsa only had 13 turnovers. Arkansas has double-digit steals six times 14 vs Rice, 13 vs Texas Southern, 11 each versus North Texas and Montana, 15 at Georgia Tech and 12 vs Tulsa.
^ Arkansas’ 10.2 steals per game ranks 10th NCAA / 1st SEC.
- Arkansas only committed eight turnovers versus Tulsa the second time the Razorbacks only had eight miscues this season (South Dakota). Arkansas committed 21 turnovers in the season opener, had 20 versus Austin Peay and 16 at Western Kentucky. Otherwise, Arkansas committed 14 or less.

^ The 19.0 turnovers forced ranks 14th NCAA / 1st SEC.
- Arkansas held its first five opponents to 56 points or less, including three teams in the 40’s, and Western Kentucky is the only team to score more than 61 points. However, the last two opponents are averaging 82.5 ppg and the team’s scoring average went from 11th to 17th nationally and from second to third in the SEC.
^ Arkansas’ 58.6 ppg scoring defense ranks 17th NCAA / 3rd SEC.
- Arkansas was blowing teams out in the first five game, winning by an average of 28.2 points. The next three wins were by only by an average of 5.0 points. Then, Arkansas suffered a seven-point, overtime loss at Western Kentucky. The Razorbacks bounced back with an 18 point win versus Tulsa.

We need a badass mean looking Bunchie for this. One that doesn’t look like a slow uncle snail walrus combo. Who’s got the skillz?
ETA: I’ve thought more about it and maybe we just need a bunchie in a pimp suit with a cigar hanging out his mouth.
