Razorbacks Set to Lock Horns with Bulldogs at Humphrey Coliseum

As the Arkansas Razorbacks prepare to face off against the Mississippi State Bulldogs at Humphrey Coliseum, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent performance trends. The Razorbacks have shown a strong offensive game in their past matchups, with a notable victory over the Wildcats where they scored 83 points and dominated the second half. Their field goal percentage was an impressive 52 percent, and they excelled from the free-throw line, hitting 79 percent of their shots.

Defensively, Arkansas has been solid as well, recording six blocks in that same game against the Wildcats. However, turnovers have been a concern; they gave up possession 17 times which is something they'll need to tighten up against Mississippi State.


In another recent game versus Lipscomb Bisons at Simmons Bank Arena in North Little Rock, Arkansas managed a narrow win with 69 points. Their shooting remained consistent with a field goal percentage of 53 percent and an even more impressive two-point shot success rate of 60 percent. The team's ability to convert assists into scores was evident as they notched up 17 assists.

Arkansas's last away game presented challenges as they faced off against ranked opponents Oklahoma Sooners and came up short by nine points. Despite this loss, there were positives; notably their free throw accuracy stood out at an excellent rate of 84 percent.


The upcoming clash promises to be exciting as both teams will look to assert dominance early on. Fans can expect Arkansas Razorbacks' offense to come out strong but will also hope for improvements in ball handling under pressure.
