The last time Arkansas played Oral Roberts was 3 months ago, and Arkansas trailed 40-30 at halftime but went on to win 87-76.

A few things stand out to me when evaluating the matchup / what has changed over the 3 month span.
  • Arkansas has been through tough SEC matchups for 3 months and came out 2nd in their league while ORU finished 4th in the Summit.
  • The emergence of Devo Davis and Jaylin Williams came after the ORU game. In the first matchup, Devo played 9 minutes and Williams did not play at all.
  • Max Abmas’ 24.2 ppg led the NCAA Division 1. He scored 11 points against Arkansas in the first matchup on 4-11 shooting. This is the lowest total he had all season (excluding a blowout win that he only played 9 minutes).
I’m trying to temper my enthusiasm but I think getting a faster start, adding Devo/J-Will to the mix, and Muss’ ability to game plan for elite scorers makes this matchup extremely favorable for Arkansas.
