The #Fastest40 Facts
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.

Senior Moses Kingsley is 23 points shy of becoming the 40th Razorback in school history to eclipse the century mark in scoring.

Arkansas is one of eight high-major teams in the country to score 70-plus points in 17 games this season. The Razorbacks last scored 70-plus in each of their first 17 games in 1994-95.

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 the only program in the country with two players in the top 40 in the nation in free throw percentage as Dusty Hannahs is 20th at .898 and Daryl Macon is 39th at .877.

Macon and Hannahs have both made 25 consecutive free throws this year and hold two of the top four spots in the SEC for free throw percentage.

Arkansas has recorded runs of at least 10-0 on 16 different occasions this year, including a season-high 21-0 run against Austin Peay on Dec. 3. The Razorbacks have multiple 10-0 runs in five games this year.

The Razorbacks have held opponents scoreless for three-plus minutes 27 times this year, including at least once in 14 of 18 games this season. Arkansas held UT Arlington scoreless for a season-best 7:11 during the second half, going on a 15-0 run.

Arkansas checks in at No. 35 in the daily NCAA RPI after Tuesday’s road victory at Texas A&M. The Razorbacks have a 3-3 record against the top 100 RPI and have eight wins against top 150 RPI teams. The SEC has 10 teams in the top 100.

In Tuesday’s win at Texas A&M, Arkansas held the Aggies without a basket in the final 6:52, forcing three turnovers in the final minutes that aided a 12-4 run to give the Razorbacks their first win in College Station since Feb. 23, 1991.
