Versus Vanderbilt

• This will be the 40th meeting between Arkansas and Vanderbilt — all but two have come since Arkansas joined the SEC. The Razorbacks own a 27-12 advantage in the series and are 4-1 versus the Commodores in the SEC Tournament.
• Arkansas has won five straight and nine of the last 10. In a scheduling quirk, six of nine games in the span were played in Bud Walton Arena from 2015-2020.

LAST TIME THEY MET — Jan. 15, 2020 — Fayetteville

• Jimmy Whitt Jr., scored a career-high 30 points and grabbed eight rebounds to lead Arkansas to a 75-55 victory over Vanderbilt at Bud Walton Arena.
• Reggie Chaney (6-of-6 from the field and 2-of-2 at the line) tied his career-high with 14 points while Desi Sills contributed 13 points and a career-high seven rebounds.
• Whitt’s career-high 30 points were unexpected as the game featured three of the top 10 scorers in the SEC – Mason Jones, Isaiah Joe and Saben Lee. All three went scoreless in the first half.
• After Lee’s first points – and old-fashion 3-point play at 17:24 – the Commodores got to within four (37-33). However, that is as close as they would get. Arkansas got the back-to-back 3-pointers from Joe to lead by 10 and held a double-digit advantage the rest of the way.

Arkansas at Bridgestone / SEC

• Arkansas is 5-7 all-time at Bridgestone Arena.
• Arkansas has reached the final of two SEC Tournaments played at Bridgestone Arena (2015 and 2017).
• The Razorbacks have reached the semifinals in three of the last five SEC Tournaments (2015, 2017 and 2018).
• In 27 previous SEC Tournaments, Arkansas is 26-27, won the 2000 championship, has reached seven finals and 14 semifinals.
