FAYETTEVILLE – The #14/15 Arkansas Razorbacks close the regular season at #13 Tennessee on Saturday (Mar. 5) season. Tipoff is set for 11:00 am (CT) and the game will be televised on ESPN.
- This will be the 46th meeting between Arkansas and Tennessee — and second in 14 days — with all but four coming since the Razorbacks joined the SEC for the 1991-92 season. The Volunteers own a slight 23-22 advantage in the series.
- Tennessee leads 14-4 in games played in Knoxville, including three straight.
- Arkansas only had two days, including a travel day, to prepare for Tennessee. Arkansas is 11-0 in games this year when having two days or fewer days rest between games. This will be the fourth true road game Arkansas has played with two days or fewer rest. Arkansas won at #12 LSU, won at Missouri and won at Florida. The Razorbacks also won the Hall of Fame Classic on back-to-back nights on a neutral court in Kansas City.
- Jaylin Williams set the school record for most rebounds in SEC games for a season. He has 176 in league games, surpassing the 168 Bobby Portis had in 2015.
- IN SEC GAMES ONLY, Arkansas leads the league in 3-point field goal percentage and ranks second in scoring defense and field goal percentage defense.
