Their resilience was evident as they turned around a slow start to secure an 83-73 victory.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for the Razorbacks; they faced defeat when playing away against Oklahoma Sooners despite putting up a good fight. The team managed to score more effectively in the second half but ultimately fell short with a final score of 70-79. Despite this loss, they showed commendable free throw proficiency at approximately 84 percent.


The venue for the upcoming game could play its part as well; playing away from home always presents additional challenges. However, if Arkansas can leverage their rebounding strength and maintain shooting efficiency while managing turnovers better than in past games, they stand a good chance of coming out on top.
