FAYETTEVILLE — With seven regular-season games left, four will be played at Bud Walton — all on Saturdays — starting Saturday when Arkansas hosts Mississippi State.

Tip-off is set for 7:30 pm and the game will be telecast on the SEC Network.

This will be the 62nd meeting between Arkansas and Mississippi State. The Razorbacks own a 33-28 advantage in the series, including a 28-24 mark since Arkansas joined the SEC in 1992 and a 21-16 record in games played in Fayetteville.

Mississippi State has won three straight in the series, but the Razorbacks have won five of the last eight.

Last season, the Bulldogs won a hard-fought game, 78-75, in Starkville. The game was close throughout with Mississippi State pulling out the win last after brothers Nick and Quinndary Weatherspoon hit back-to-back 3-pointers late in the game.

• Arkansas will close the regular season by playing four home Saturday games. Arkansas is an impressive 25-6 in Saturday SEC home games under head coach Mike Anderson, winning nine of his last 10.

• The Razorbacks are one of two teams in the league to finish .500 or better in SEC play each of the last six years.

• Daniel Gafford ranks fourth in the NCAA in field goal percentage (.672) and is the only player in the SEC to rank among the top 10 in field goal percentage (1st; .672), scoring (4th, 16.9 avg.), rebounding (2nd; 8.7 avg.), blocked shots (5th, 1.92 avg.), offensive rebounds (4th; 2.75 avg.) and defensive rebounds (2nd; 5.96 avg.).

• Arkansas has committed 26 turnovers over its last two games. The Razorbacks are second in the SEC in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.2) and third in the league in turnover margin (+3.0)

• Isaiah Joe made four 3-pointers at Missouri to give him 86 for the season as he surpassed Rotnei Clarke and became the school’s record holder for 3-pointers made in a season. Clarke made 83 in his rookie campaign in 2009.

• Jalen Harris had 10 assists and just one turnover at Missouri. He has had double-digit assist efforts four times this season and had 12 games with one or fewer turnovers.
