Razorbacks Charge Toward SEC Tournament

0:00On March 6th, 20th ranked Arkansas is charging toward the SEC tournament with momentum after a big 105-85 win over Texas on Wednesday night. The Razabax improved to 22 wins and 8 losses overall, 12 and 5 in conference play. Star senior Trevon Brazil led the way with a career-high 28 points. Earlier this week, Darius Atcuff Jr. added 28 points and 13 assists in that Texas victory, boosting his team leading average of 22.2 points per game. Arkansas now heads to Missouri on Saturday to wrap up the regular season. A win there, paired with an Alabama loss, would lock in the number two seed for next week's tournament. Meanwhile, Missouri sits at 20 wins and 10 losses, 10 and 7 in the SEC, coming off an 80-64 defeat against Oklahoma. The Tigers struggled with turnovers in that game, and their earlier 94-86 loss to Arkansas back on February 21st, where they got outscored badly and points off those mistakes.

1:03Mark Mitchell leads Missouri with 17.4 points per game, backed by Jaden Stone at 13.7 and Trent Pierce at 10.6. Coach Dennis Gates believes his squad can regroup and fix those turnover issues before facing the hot Razabax. Arkansas coach John Calipari emphasized, this is the March style they've built toward all season, positioning them as contenders. With the potential for wins in their last five games, the Razabax aimed to carry this fire right into tournament play.
