ANALYSIS:
Arkansas is one of the teams in the upper echelon of college basketball this year. Their record this season is 25-7, and the club is ranked 23rd overall (out of 357) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. Of the 14 schools in the SEC (average ranking 61.5), they're currently ranked as our #3 team in the conference.

The Arkansas defense will be extremely problematic for most opposing offenses. Allowing about 89 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, the club is ranked tenth overall in defensive efficiency. Arkansas does a super job to deny opponents offensive rebounds and second chances. They have a rating of 10.15 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (ranked 22nd in the country). Arkansas has also done a really good job this year to prevent opponents from making shots from the inside. They are ranked 41st in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 54.0% of their attempts from close-up.

Arkansas plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 41st nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 109 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Arkansas will make a strong effort to get off as many field goals close to the basket as they can. The ball-club is 27th in the NCAA in ratio of near-proximity attempts to total field goal attempts. As far as converting those near-proximity shots goes, the team shoots 59.6% vs. AO, which falls somewhere in the middle of the pack of the rankings in that category. Arkansas is also one of the better teams in the country when it comes to converting scoring chances off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team successfully converts 7.0% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 30th nationally), and with a rating of 16.07, they're 38th in potential points scored off of the offensive glass as well.
