Matchup Breakdown

Arkansas Outlook

Arkansas averages 82.4 points per game, with Darius Acuff Jr., Trevon Brazile, and Meleek Thomas leading the offense. Acuff’s playmaking (19.9 points, 6.2 assists per game) and recent surge (23.7 points over his last six) highlight offensive strength. Their 12-3 overall record and 2-0 SEC mark underscore momentum, with their 94-87 win at Ole Miss showcasing depth and ball movement (19 assists).

Auburn Outlook

Auburn averages 79.1 points per game, with Keyshawn Hall, Tahaad Pettiford, and KeShawn Murphy providing scoring depth. Hall leads the team with 20.9 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, highlighted by his 32-point, 12-rebound performance vs Texas A&M. Their 9-6 overall record and 0-2 SEC mark underscore competitiveness, though both losses came in excruciating fashion. Pettiford’s role remains key as he adjusts to coming off the bench.

Key Matchup / Path to Victory

The game hinges on Arkansas’ ability to maintain offensive rhythm through Acuff, while Auburn must lean on Hall’s interior dominance to pace the offense. If Arkansas controls tempo and perimeter shooting, their depth should create separation. Auburn’s hopes rest on rebounding and Pettiford’s scoring spark to keep the game close.
