Arkansas basketball has finally cracked the code to secure its first SEC win. The pressing question now is whether this much-needed victory can serve as a catalyst for the Razorbacks to string together a series of wins and reignite their hopes of making the NCAA Tournament. The Razorbacks (12-7, 1-5 SEC) will have another shot at building momentum when they host Oklahoma (14-4, 1-4 SEC) on Saturday night.
Arkansas comes off a gritty 68-65 triumph over Georgia, where they overcame a 12-point halftime deficit. The Razorbacks tallied 42 points in the second half to edge out the win. Their shooting percentages weren't ideal—31% from the field and a meager 13% from beyond the arc—but they converted a solid 85.3% of their free throws. Adou Thiero delivered a standout performance, recording a double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds, while Karter Knox chipped in 13 points and six boards to seal the deal.
Before this hard-fought win, Arkansas suffered consecutive losses to Missouri (83-65) and LSU (78-74), leaving them with just one victory in their last six games. Sitting second-to-last in the SEC standings, the Razorbacks have their work cut out to climb the ladder.
On the other hand, Oklahoma (14-4, 1-4 SEC) comes into the matchup riding high after dismantling South Carolina 82-62. The Sooners held a slim four-point lead at halftime but erupted with 48 second-half points to cruise to victory. They showcased their shooting efficiency by hitting 56% of their field goals, an impressive 47.1% from three-point range, and 85.7% at the charity stripe. Jalon Moore led the charge with 22 points and eight rebounds, while Jeremiah Fears contributed 16 points and nine boards in the convincing win.
Prior to that, the Sooners dropped back-to-back games, falling to Texas 77-73 and Georgia 72-62. Oklahoma has lost four of their last five games and currently sits just half a game ahead of Arkansas in the standings.
