The Arkansas Razorbacks men’s basketball team has been a force to be reckoned with in the Southeastern Conference this season, and they proved it once again on Saturday night with a dominating performance against the Florida Gators. After back-to-back losses to Mississippi State and LSU, the Razorbacks bounced back in a big way, routing the Gators 82-61 in Gainesville.<\/p>\n
Arkansas was led by senior guard Mason Jones, who scored a game-high 25 points on 10-of-15 shooting. Jones was one of four Razorbacks to reach double figures, with Jalen Harris (14 points), Jimmy Whitt (12 points) and Adrio Bailey (11 points) also chipping in.<\/p>\n
The Razorbacks controlled the game from the start, opening up a double-digit lead in the first half and never looking back. Arkansas out-rebounded Florida 40-25 and out-shot them from the field, 52.5% to 37.7%. The Razorbacks also forced the Gators into 15 turnovers and held them to just 4-of-17 shooting from three-point range.<\/p>\n
It was a complete team effort from the Razorbacks, who improved to 18-9 on the season and 8-6 in the SEC. The win was especially sweet for Arkansas, as it snapped a two-game losing streak and kept their NCAA tournament hopes alive.<\/p>\n
The Razorbacks will look to keep the momentum going when they host Vanderbilt on Tuesday night. With a win, Arkansas would move into a tie for fourth place in the SEC standings and would be in great position to make the NCAA tournament. No matter what happens, the Razorbacks have proven they are a force to be reckoned with in the SEC this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
