Final Arkansas-76 @ Alabama-73

Lets Get This Party Started. I believe Arkansas Needs 2 wins to make the big dance imo. Last Game, we had 41 downvotes(We need 42 or more downvotes this time) and I believe that gamethread was a idiosyncrasy.









• The Razorbacks are searching for back-to-back road conference wins for the eighth time in the last five years.

• For the first time in 10 years, Arkansas is 3-0 in its last three games against ranked teams, including last Saturday’s 19-point win against No. 21 Texas A&M.

• Daniel Gafford earned his third SEC Freshman of the Week honor on Monday. He joins NBA players Bobby Portis and Patrick Beverley as the only Razorbacks to ever earn the honor three times.

• During the last five years, the Razorbacks have posted a 33-15 (.687) regular season record in the months of February and March.

• Arkansas has won 36 consecutive games in which it has led at halftime. During Mike Anderson era, the Razorbacks are 121-7 when leading at the intermission.

• Jaylen Barford and Daryl Macon are the only two players in the SEC to rank in the top 10 in points per game, three-point FG percentage and FG percentage.

• Daryl Macon has nine 20-point performances in the last 10 games. His streak of seven straight put him alongside Corliss Williamson as the only players to do so since the Razorbacks joined the SEC.

• Arkansas is 6-0 this season when Daryl Macon and Jaylen Barford both score 20+ points in the same game, including 5-0 in SEC play. The Razorbacks are 8-1 the duo combines for 40 points.

A Win Would…
• Give the Razorbacks back-to-back wins in Tuscaloosa for the first time in 21 years.

• Be Arkansas’ 2nd four-game winning streak (06-08) against Alabama in the all-time series that dates back to 1948.

• Be the Razorbacks’ ninth SEC road victory during the last two seasons.

• Give Arkansas 20+ wins in four of the last six years.

Alabama
• Both Alabama and Arkansas enter Saturday's game with identical 8-7 league records with three games remaining in the regular season.In fact, both the Tide and Razorbacks are two of six teams tied for third place overall in the league standings entering the final week of conference play.

• Alabama boasts a 3-1 record against teams in the ESPN.com RPI top 11 (as of Feb. 23). The Tide split its two games with No. 6 Auburn and defeated both No. 7 Rhode Island and No. 11 Tennessee.

• Saturday's game with Arkansas features two of the top scorers and the top dunkers in the Southeastern Conference this season. Both Collin Sexton and Jaylen Bradford enter the contest tied for second among the league's scoring leaders at 18.4 points per game. Meanwhile, Donta Hall (63 dunks) and Daniel Gafford (55 dunks) are the top dunkers in the SEC.

• Alabama leads the Southeastern Conference with 135 dunks this season, led by junior Donta Hall, who now has 63 dunks on the year. The Luverne, Ala., native is connecting on an impressive 75.1 percent (130-of-173) from the field, with nearly half of his made field goals this season coming above the rim (63 dunks on 130 made field goals). Hall would lead the nation in field goal percentage, however, he is just shy of the NCAA's minimum standard for the category of five made field goals per game (Hall is currently averaging 4.85 makes a game).

• In league games, Alabama ranks as the top defensive team in the SEC. Through 15 conference games, Alabama tops the SEC in scoring defense (67.3), field goal percentage defense (.394) and blocks per game (5.4), while ranking second in three-point field goal percentage defense (.304) and third in steals (6.5).
