The Razorbacks have shown resilience in their recent outings, despite some challenges. In their last game against the UConn Huskies on March 23rd, they struggled with shooting accuracy, hitting only 32 percent from two-point range and a similar figure from beyond the arc. However, they demonstrated tenacity in rebounding with a total of 31 boards and managed to put up a fight by scoring 13 fast break points.


In contrast, during their encounter with Kansas Jayhawks on March 18th, ARK displayed better control over their gameplay. They improved their two-point shooting percentage significantly to nearly 49 percent and showcased defensive prowess by limiting turnovers to just eleven while forcing thirteen points off turnovers.


The most promising performance came against Illinois Fighting Illini on March 16th when ARK edged out with a narrow victory. Their defense was particularly impressive as they racked up twelve steals leading to nineteen points off turnovers. This aggressive defense coupled with decent shooting percentages could be key factors in overcoming Alcorn State.


On the other side of the court stands Alcorn State Braves who will undoubtedly come prepared for battle. While less is known about ALCN's recent performances without specific data provided here, one can expect them not to go down without giving it their all.


For ARK fans looking ahead optimistically but cautiously due to inconsistent shooting performances recently observed – there's hope that home-court advantage at Bud Walton Arena will provide an extra boost needed for victory.


With anticipation building towards game day, all eyes will be on whether Arkansas can capitalize on its strengths and overcome its weaknesses effectively enough against Alcorn State Braves' challenge.


Fans won't want to miss this showdown scheduled for November 7th at Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville. The game kicks off at 8:00 PM local time (Central Time Zone) and can be streamed live via SEC Network+. It promises excitement as both teams vie for supremacy on court amidst roaring crowds cheering them on every dribble and dunk!
