In their last outing against the Sooners, despite a valiant effort and putting up 70 points, the Razorbacks fell short with a loss. They demonstrated tenacity on defense with 6 blocks and 10 steals but struggled from beyond the arc, shooting only 22 percent from three-point range. Their assist-to-turnover ratio stood at just under one (0.89), indicating room for improvement in ball handling and passing efficiency.


However, looking back two games prior reveals a more dominant side of Arkansas basketball. Against Furman Paladins, they secured an impressive victory with a high-scoring game that ended at 97 points for the Razorbacks. Their field goal percentage was an outstanding 61 percent overall and an even more impressive 69 percent from two-point range. The team also excelled in assists with a total of 21 and maintained a strong defensive presence with ten blocks.


Continuing this trend of high-scoring offense was evident when they faced Duke Blue Devils earlier in the season; Arkansas came out on top scoring 80 points while holding Duke to just 75 points. Their field goal percentage was solid at approximately 49 percent, complemented by nearly half of their three-point attempts finding the net (41 percent).


The upcoming game is set to take place on December 16th at Simmons Bank Arena located in North Little Rock, AR – known for its vibrant atmosphere that could provide an additional edge for the home team. Fans can catch all the action live on SEC Network+ online.


With recent performances showcasing both resilience and offensive prowess, it will be interesting to see how Arkansas leverages its strengths against Lipscomb Bisons' defense strategies while playing on familiar ground before their supportive fans.
