Matchup Breakdown

Arkansas Outlook

The Razorbacks average 79.4 points per game, with Darius Acuff Jr., Tramon Mark, and Trevon Brazile leading the offense. Acuff’s 31 points vs LSU highlighted his scoring ability, while Mark and Brazile provide balance. Arkansas’ efficiency (15-5 overall record; 5-2 SEC; 75% FT on season despite recent struggles) underscores their strengths. Their ability to limit turnovers (9.9 per game) makes them dangerous, though road inconsistency remains a concern.

Oklahoma Outlook

The Sooners average 72.8 points per game, with Xzayvier Brown, Javian McCollum, and Sam Godwin driving production. Brown’s 21.5 points per game over the last four outings highlight his consistency, while McCollum provides secondary scoring. Oklahoma’s struggles (11-9 overall record; 1-6 SEC; six straight losses) underscore their weaknesses. Their ability to protect the ball (10 turnovers per game) gives them a chance to stay competitive.

Key Factors

This matchup may hinge on turnovers and free-throw shooting. Arkansas must regain its efficiency at the line and rely on Acuff’s scoring, while Oklahoma must lean on Brown’s hot hand and limit mistakes to tilt the game. Execution in the final minutes will likely decide the margin.
