Arkansas' starting lineup: Jalen Tate, Desi Sills, Moses Moody, Justin Smith and Connor Vanover.
This starting group was phenomenal against Lipscomb on Saturday.
Over 19 offensive and defensive possessions together, it scored at a 1.53 point-per-possession clip and allowed .37 PPP, according to HoopLens. The Bisons shot 18.2% on 2-point field goal attempts and 25% from 3-point range. About the only thing this bunch didn’t do was turn Lipscomb over very often. Offensively, this lineup made nearly 86% of its shots inside the arc and 71.4% from 3.
Entering tonight’s game, both Moody and Vanover hold a top-100 offensive rating in the country, according to KenPom.
