FAYETTEVILLE – After playing five of the last seven games at home, Arkansas hits the road for back-to-back games starting Saturday (Feb. 12) at Alabama. Tipoff is set for 11 am (CT) and the game will be televised on SEC Network.
- This will be the 66th meeting between Arkansas and Alabama and 56th since the Razorbacks joined the SEC. Arkansas leads the all-time series, 36-29, and is 29-26 versus the Crimson Tide since joining the SEC.
- Alabama owns a 21-8 advantage in games played in Tuscaloosa. Arkansas has won 8 of the last 10 in the series.
- Arkansas has allowed less than 60 points in five of its 11 SEC games and — despite allowing Auburn to score 76 in an overtime win — the Razorbacks continue to lead the conference in scoring defense in SEC games at 66.7 ppg.
- IN the first 15 games of the season, Arkansas opponents were shooting 44% from the field and 36.6% from 3-point range. During the current nine-game win streak, opponents are shooting just 36.7% from the field and 27.5% from deep.
- Last time out, JD Notae scored a game-high 28 points versus Auburn and strengthened his lead in the SEC in overall scoring (19.13 ppg) and regained the SEC-only scoring lead.
- Notae is not just a scorer. He added a career-high four blocked shots and three steals versus Auburn. Also, Notae is the only player in the SEC to rank among the league’s top 15 in scoring (1st), steals (2nd), assists (13th) and defensive rebounds (15th).
