 During the last four seasons, Arkansas is second in the SEC in league wins with 36, while Florida is third with 35.

 Following Saturday’s victory over Missouri, Arkansas’ RPI went from No. 25 to No. 21 according to the NCAA, while its strength of schedule is up from No. 13 to No. 7.

 Daniel Gafford’s game-winning dunk against Missouri was his 39th slam of the year, more than six SEC teams, including Florida with 35 as a program this season.

 Daryl Macon is one of two players in the SEC with four games of 8+ assists this season. In those four contests, he has totaled 32 assists and just six turnovers.

 Jaylen Barford is the only player in the SEC to rank in the top three in points per game (3rd) and field goal percentage (3rd).

A Win Would…
