Entering the 2022-23 season, the two matchups between Kentucky and Arkansas appeared to be the biggest headliners of the SEC. Injuries put each team on the bubble early. The Cats have won their way off, for now, while the Razorbacks can’t seem to find a rhythm in Eric Musselman’s fourth season.
Arkansas is ranked 29th in the NET, but they’re just 1-5 against Quad 1 opponents and 5-5 in SEC play. On Saturday they got caught playing with fire and it almost burned them ahead of Tuesday night’s matchup with the Wildcats at Rupp Arena.
Looking for their first true road win of the season at South Carolina, the Razorbacks shot 57.
