Over the last three halves of basketball, Arkansas is averaging 1.48 points per possession. That number across an entire season would lead the country. BYU currently tops the nation at a clip of 1.23 points per possession.
According to KenPom, Arkansas had a 139.9 offensive efficiency rating vs. UNCW. It's the Razorbacks' best mark since their 80-point win over Mississippi Valley State to open the 2020-21 season (163.7).
The Keyon Menfield era at Arkansas officially began today. He’s established himself as the top point guard on Arkansas’s roster. He scored 32 points in the Razorbacks 106-90 win over UNCW. He’s super shifty and scores from all three levels. Most of Arkansas’s issues have an…
Bud Walton Arena is LOUD. Arkansas leads 81-63 at the U-8 and this is the loudest this place has been all season aside from Duke and Purdue. Jalen Graham now up to 14 points and 5 rebounds. Another Hog playing well today.
HALF: Arkansas 48 UNC Wilmington 42. Just a splendid half of basketball. Great pace. Great environment. Two teams making their shots and playing with great effort defensively. Keyon Menifield leads all scorers with 17 points and scored the Hogs' last 11 in the 1H.
Hogs up 16-15 at the U-12 with UNCW heading to the free throw line. Both teams hitting the offensive glass hard with a combined 10 offensive rebounds.

Man, this has been a great final push for Pitt. The Panthers have outscored Cuse 14-4 in the past five minutes. Easily the best showing Capel's group has had in the stretch heading into a break. Rebounding, defense, shooting, all very good.
After allowing Cuse to score the game's first two baskets, Pitt responds with a 7-0 run. Carrington looks comfortable early on, despite tight defense from Mintz.
