ABOUT ARKANSAS
• Following a near flawless non-conference campaign, Arkansas has seen an up-and-down first 10 games of SEC play. After beginning the year 12-1, the Razorbacks currently sit at 16-7 overall and 4-6 in league play.
• The Razorbacks are coming off back-to-back overtime losses, at home against Auburn (79-76) and on the road at Missouri (83-79).
• Arkansas is led by first-year head coach Eric Musselman who comes to Fayetteville following a four-year stint at Nevada, where he won 110 games, three consecutive Mountain West regular-season titles, the 2016 CBI championship and made three consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournament. The most notable of those NCAA berths came in 2018, when the Wolfpack overcame two double-digit deficits (against Texas and Cincinnati) to advance to the Sweet Sixteen.
• Not only has Musselman brought a new staff to Arkansas, but he also added five transfers to the Razorback roster.
• Among those transfers is grad transfer guard Jimmy Whitt Jr. Whitt Jr., along with returner Mason Jones, sit atop four statistical categories for the Razorbacks. The backcourt tandem ranks first and second in scoring, rebounding, assists and steals, with Jones (20.5 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 3.4 apg and 1.8 spg) leading each category and Whitt Jr. (14.7 ppg, 4.9 rpg, 1.7 apg and 1.3 spg) following right behind him. Jones's 20.5 ppg also leads the SEC.
• Notable alumni of the University of Arkansas include current Dallas Cowboys owner, Jerry Jones. Jones graduated from Arkansas in 1965 and was a captain on the 1964 National Champion Razorback football team.
