Poffenbarger, Barnum lead Hogs to dominating win over Mizzoi
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Arkansas (16-3, 3-1 SEC) dominated at Missouri (14-3, 3-1 SEC), 77-55, to earn their eighth straight win against the Tigers.
The Razorbacks held Missouri to 29 percent shooting (18-of-62) and a season-low 55 points.
In the win, Saylor Poffenbarger paced the Hogs with a career-high 24 points, while Erynn Barnum also tallied 21 points and 11 rebounds for her second double-double of the season.
Chrissy Carr, who finished with 16 points, made timely 3-pointers down the stretch. Arkansas is now 3-1 in SEC play, its best start in league play since 2005-06.
Mizzou got off to a little bit more of a better start offensively than Arkansas, as the Tigers held the 8-4 edge at the media timeout.
After a three-minute scoring drought, Barnum came up with a layup and Jersey Wolfenbarger came off the bench to deliver one of her own. Mizzou ended the quarter in a four-minute scoring drought, while the Hogs were held off the scoreboard for over three minutes, as the Tigers led 9-8 after one quarter.
Poffenbarger pulled the Razorbacks ahead for the first time of the game with a tough layup. Barnum followed with another hard-fought layup, and Arkansas led 12-9 with 8:27 left in the second quarter while Mizzou was shooting 9%, 2-for-23, from the field.
While still holding Mizzou scoreless for 11 minutes and some change, the Hogs took advantage, as a Carr 3-pointer, their first triple of the day, pulled the Razorbacks ahead 17-9 with 5:30 left in the first half.
The Razorbacks were ahead 19-9, but Mizzou broke its 11-minute scoring drought with a layup. Arkansas didn’t put their foot off the gas, as Poffenbarger drained a 3-pointer. Mizzou got rolling offensively to score 13 points in the final three minutes of the quarter. Following a Tiger second-chance layup with five seconds left to inch the Tigers within six, Rylee Langerman hit a triple and the Razorbacks pulled ahead 31-22 going into the locker room.
Mizzou got rolling first with a layup off a steal, but Poffenbarger and Makayla Daniels answered with 3-pointers on back-to-back possessions.
Another tough layup by Poffenbarger put the Razorbacks ahead 41-27 with seven minutes and some change remaining in the quarter. The Tigers were held in a scoring drought for two minutes, but following a Mizzou layup, the Razorbacks had the 43-29 advantage at the media timeout.
Out of the break, Arkansas was held scoreless for three minutes, but Barnum got the team out of the hole with a nice layup. Mizzou scored five straight points, but a Carr jumper sent Arkansas to the final quarter up, 49-38.
The Razorbacks began the quarter on a 7-2 run, which was initiated by a second-chance layup by Barnum and capped off by a Carr triple.
Following an and-1 by Poffenbarger, the Razorbacks were ahead by 22 with five minutes and some change left in the game. Missouri responded with a triple, as Arkansas led 68-47 with 4:45 remaining in the contest. Arkansas outscored Missouri 9-5 in the next four minutes and with a Poffenbarger free throw, the Razorbacks took their largest win of the day with 25 points. Missouri nailed a 3-pointer on their final possession, and Arkansas cruised to a 77-55 victory.

“Playing a road game at Auburn is as hard as anywhere in the country,” Razorbacks coach Eric Musselman said earlier this week. “Yhat’s a really, really hard place to play, and the record tells you so. When you win that many games in a row, I mean, that’s why it’s one of the hardest buildings to win in in the country.”
It is a key game for the Hogs, who have split their first two games in the league and are trying to get things sorted out offensively without Nick Smith (who is out for the rest of the month) and Trevon Brazile (knee surgery and out for the year).
Game Notes
• This will be the 58th meeting between Arkansas and Auburn. All but one (a meeting in the 1967-68 season in Oklahoma City) have come since Arkansas joined the SEC. The Razorbacks own a 37-20 advantage in the series, but the Tigers are 14-13 versus the Hogs in Auburn. Arkansas has won three-straight in the series and 13 of the last 17.
• Last year, Arkansas took down No. 1 Auburn, 80-76, in overtime in Bud Walton Arena. After losing 5-of-6 in December-January, the Auburn win was Arkansas’ ninth-straight SEC win, and the Hogs would win 18-of-21 before falling in the Elite 8.
• Last time out, Arkansas erased a 17-point deficit to defeat #20 Missouri 74-68. The Tigers were up 17 (25-8) with 9:31 left in the first half. Arkansas used an 8-0 run to end the first half and a 10-4 run to start the second half to get to within one (38-37). Later, Arkansas used a 9-0 run to take its first lead and never surrendered the advantage. It was Arkansas’ biggest come-from-behind win this season and the third time Arkansas won when trailing by double digits. Overall, it was the second biggest come-from-behind win for Arkansas in the Eric Musselman era. Ironically, the biggest deficit Arkansas overcame to win was 19 points versus Auburn (Jan. 20, 2021, in Fayetteville). Arkansas trailed 37-18 with 4:17 left in the first half.
• Arkansas has trailed at the half in six of the last 10 games. The Hogs are 4-2 when trailing at the half this season.
• This will be the 98th time in Razorback history — and second-straight game — that a ranked Arkansas team will play a ranked opponent. Arkansas is 48-49 in such games but just 4-15 in such games on the road.
• The first nine times Arkansas faced a ranked opponent in the Eric Musselman era, the Hogs were just 3-6. In the last 10 games Arkansas has faced a ranked opponent, the Hogs are 7-3, including a win over #1 Auburn and #1 Gonzaga last season.
• This will mark the third straight game Arkansas has played “The Tigers.” The Razorbacks opened the SEC slate at the LSU Tigers, played the Missouri Tigers last time out and now face the Auburn Tigers.
• Earlier this season, Arkansas played another three-peat of mascots. First, Arkansas faced the “The Trojans” of Troy before playing fellow Greek historical heroes “The Spartans” in back-to-back games (San Jose State and UNCG).
• This could never happen to Arkansas because there is only one Razorback.
