Arkansas Razorbacks Clash with Vanderbilt Commodores at Bridgestone Arena

Last season, the Razorbacks demonstrated a solid command on the court with an average of 74 points per game. Their offensive prowess was backed by an impeccable free throw and two-point percentage, both rounding up to 100 percent. With true shooting also at a perfect rate, it's clear that accuracy is one of the team's strongest suits.


Defensively, Arkansas maintained discipline with an average of just over 19 personal fouils per game while managing to secure over eight steals and five blocks in each outing. This balance between offense and defense could be pivotal against Vanderbilt.

Rebounding has been another area where Arkansas excelled; pulling down approximately 32 rebounds per game last season shows their ability to control the glass—a key factor that might influence this matchup.


However, turnovers were a concern as they averaged over 12 per game. Minimizing these will be crucial for maintaining possession and dictating the pace against the Commodores.

The venue may play its part too; playing away from home can introduce new challenges but also opportunities for teams like Arkansas who thrive under pressure.


Fans should expect a thrilling encounter as both teams vie for dominance on court. With strong statistical trends backing them up from last season’s performance, Arkansas Razorbacks have every reason to approach this game with confidence—but not complacency—as they aim for victory in Nashville.


The action unfolds on March 13th at 6:00 PM Eastern Time at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. Fans won't want to miss this clash and can catch all the excitement live on SEC Network.
