Clash at Bud Walton Arena: Arkansas Razorbacks Face Alcorn State Braves

As the Arkansas Razorbacks prepare to host the Alcorn State Braves at Bud Walton Arena, fans are eager to see if the home team can continue their solid performance from last season. The Razorbacks showcased a commendable field goal percentage of 47 percent and were particularly strong inside the arc with a two-point percentage of 52 percent. Their true shooting percentage stood at 55 percent, indicating efficient scoring when accounting for free throws and three-pointers.

Despite a less impressive three-point shooting average of 31 percent, Arkansas managed to maintain an average score of 74 points per game. This offensive output was supported by an average of nearly 13 assists per game, suggesting that teamwork is one of their strengths on the court.

Defensively, the Razorbacks were active with over eight steals and five blocks per game, which helped them control their opponents' scoring opportunities. However, they will need to watch their discipline as they averaged about 19 personal fouls per game last season.

Rebounding has been another key aspect for Arkansas with an average of over 32 rebounds per game. Maintaining control on both ends of the court will be crucial in setting up scoring chances and limiting second-chance points for Alcorn State.

Arkansas fans should also note that turnovers were a bit high last season at an average of over 12 per game; reducing these could help in tightening up their gameplay against Alcorn State.

The upcoming match promises excitement as it unfolds in Fayetteville's renowned Bud Walton Arena—a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere that could provide an additional edge for the home team. Fans can catch this anticipated face-off on November 7th at SEC Network+, where they'll witness if Arkansas can capitalize on its previous successes and set a positive tone for this season's campaign.
