High Point vs. Arkansas: A Clash Brewing with Unexpected Twists and High Stakes
Arkansas has looked surprisingly good lately. It seems like everything is coming together for this Coach Calipari-led team. They won the SEC Tournament over Vanderbilt with relative ease. They then beat Hawaii by almost 20 in their opening round game. It actually is fairly remarkable that they won the game by so many, because they didn’t shoot particularly well. The team was 4-21 from three in the game, for just 19%. They did own the paint, though, which is what won them the game. They outscored Hawaii by 24 in the paint. It wasn’t all due to offensive rebounding, either. Those numbers were close with Hawaii having 11 and Arkansas having 12. Darius Acuff Jr. had a good showing in his first NCAA action, putting in 24 points on 9 of 19 shooting. This really isn’t a team that most people should want to face right now. They are firing on all cylinders.Â
