In their previous three games, Battle has showcased his skills and proved why he is a force to be reckoned with.

Despite the Razorbacks' loss in that game, Battle's performance stood out.


In the second game against LSU Tigers, Battle continued to shine with 11 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists. He displayed his versatility by shooting at a high field goals percentage of 46% and making half of his two-point shots. His contributions were crucial in securing a victory for the Razorbacks.

Finally, in their most recent game against Kentucky Wildcats, Battle once again proved his worth by scoring 16 points and dishing out 3 assists. He showcased his efficiency by shooting at an impressive field goals percentage of 86% and making all of his free throws.


Apart from Battle's exceptional performances, other players from the Arkansas Razorbacks have also made significant contributions. Chandler Lawson has been a dominant force in the paint with his strong rebounding skills and shot-blocking ability. Davonte Davis has shown great court vision and playmaking skills with his assists. Jeremiah Davenport has displayed excellent shooting accuracy from beyond the arc.

When we look at the average player stats over the last three games for Arkansas Razorbacks, we can see that they have a well-rounded team. Battle has averaged 16.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2 assists per game. Lawson has averaged 5.7 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game, showcasing his defensive prowess. Davis has averaged 2 assists per game, displaying his ability to create scoring opportunities for his teammates.

Tyrin Lawrence has been a consistent scorer for the team, averaging 14.3 points per game over the last three games.

However, despite their individual performances, the Commodores have struggled to find consistency as a team. They will need to step up their game if they want to compete with the dominant Razorbacks.


In conclusion, the upcoming game between Arkansas Razorbacks and Vanderbilt Commodores promises to be an exciting matchup. The Razorbacks will be looking to continue their winning streak with Khalif Battle leading the charge. However, they cannot underestimate the Commodores and should be prepared for a tough battle on the court.
