Arkansas Rallies: Can Razorbacks End Kentucky's Woes?
31 Jan
Summary
- Arkansas seeks to maintain a perfect 12-0 home record.
- Freshman guards Acuff and Thomas lead Arkansas's offense.
- Kentucky aims to rebound from a significant blowout loss.

The No. 15 Arkansas Razorbacks are set to host the Kentucky Wildcats for a critical Southeastern Conference matchup on Saturday evening. Arkansas aims to protect their flawless 12-0 home record in Fayetteville.
The Razorbacks' season gained momentum following a victory against Kentucky in Lexington last February. They enter this game with a strong home performance record and are buoyed by the stellar play of freshmen Darius Acuff Jr., who delivered a 21-point, 10-assist, zero-turnover performance in their recent win at Oklahoma, and Meleek Thomas, who contributed 16 points.
Kentucky, under coach Mark Pope, is seeking a turnaround after suffering a significant 80-55 defeat to Vanderbilt. The Wildcats have struggled in several road games this season, marked by low shooting percentages and early deficits. Despite recent setbacks, Kentucky has previously demonstrated an ability to string together wins in conference play, aiming to regroup against the high-flying Razorbacks.
