The #Fastest40 Facts
Arkansas is 6-3 in its last nine games away from Bud Walton Arena, including a 4-1 mark in its last five SEC road contests.

Mike Anderson’s 16 SEC road wins in the last five-plus seasons is two more than Arkansas had in the previous 10 years before he took over.

The Razorbacks have road wins over 11 different SEC opponents in the last three-plus years, joining Florida (11) and Kentucky (13) as the only schools to accomplish the feat. Arkansas is only missing road wins at LSU and Florida.

Arkansas has trailed by 12-plus points in both SEC road victories this season before rallying to capture each road win by at least five points.

In the last two SEC home games, the Razorbacks have recorded wire-to-wire victories and led by at least 17 points in each contest.

Arkansas has won five straight games decided by four points or less, including three of those coming on the road. The Razorbacks are also 4-0 in their last four contests decided by one possession, the longest such streak in six seasons.

The Razorbacks are one of eight high-major teams in the country to score 90-plus points in seven games this season. Saturday’s 99-point effort was the third-highest point total under Anderson in an SEC game.

Arkansas checks in at No. 33 in the daily NCAA RPI after three straight conference wins. The Razorbacks have a 4-3 record against the top 100 RPI and have eight wins against top 150 RPI teams. The SEC has six top 50 teams and 11 teams in the top 100.

The Vanderbilt Series
Arkansas returns to Nashville for the first time since the 2013-14 season when the Razorbacks won a nail-biter. Former Razorback Michael Qualls sank a 3-pointer with four seconds remaining to knock off the Commodores 77-75.

The Razorbacks are riding a three game winning streak against the Commodores and have won six of the last eight in the series. Arkansas leads the all-time series 21-11 and is 5-8 at Vanderbilt.
