3 key things to know about the Arkansas Razorbacks
The No. 16 Kentucky Wildcats host the Arkansas Razorbacks at Rupp Arena tomorrow.
Kentucky is looking to keep building momentum ahead of the SEC Tournament by picking up its third win in a row. Arkansas will be looking to get back on track after falling to Vanderbilt on Tuesday.
What are three of the most important things to know about the Arkansas Razorbacks?
Tramon Mark and Khalif Battle are a solid guard duo
Despite Arkansas' struggles, it has a guard duo capable of changing a game.
Mark, a 6-foot-6 junior, leads the team in scoring with 16.8 points per game. He also averages 4.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game and shoots 49.3% from the field.
Battle, a 6-foot-5 senior, averages 12.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game.
Kentucky will need to emphasize containing these two.
The Razorbacks can knock down shots
Arkansas is second in the SEC in blocks per game, averaging six.
Kentucky will need to keep this in mind when driving to the rim.
Arkansas struggles to shoot the ball at times
The Razorbacks have had some hot stretches this season, but are No. 9 in the SEC in field goal percentage at 44.3%.
Arkansas will not be as much of a challenge to guard as other teams that Kentucky has played this year have been.
Tipoff is set for 1:30 p.m. ET and the television broadcast can be found on CBS.
