First Half


From the outset, the Tigers took control of the game. Keyshawn Hall was instrumental in establishing an early lead for Auburn, contributing significantly with his scoring ability. The first half ended with Auburn leading 49-34, thanks in part to their impressive shooting accuracy of 57 percent from field goals and a strong presence in the paint where they scored 48 points overall.


Second Half


In the second half, Auburn continued to dominate both ends of the court. Elyjah Freeman added depth to their attack with crucial assists and rebounds that kept momentum on their side. The War Eagles' defense also shone brightly as they recorded a total of 11 steals throughout the game, disrupting Arkansas' offensive flow repeatedly.


Post Game Analysis


The Razorbacks struggled against Auburn's relentless pressure and efficient ball movement which resulted in a total of only nine assists compared to Auburn’s twenty. Despite some spirited play from Arkansas’ bench players who contributed thirty-five points collectively, it wasn't enough to bridge the gap created by turnovers and missed opportunities.


This matchup highlighted what went wrong for Auburn Tigers previously but showed significant improvement this time around as they capitalized on fast breaks scoring fifteen points off such plays alone.
