FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Coming off an astonishing 86-81 win against a ranked Missouri team on the road, the number 24 Razorback men’s basketball team has broken into the AP top-25 rankings.
This comes as the first time the Hogs have earned a regular season AP ranking since the 2017-18 season under Coach Mike Anderson.
The Muss Bus hopes to keep their 3-game win streak rolling as they take on the Florida Gators at Bud Walton Arena. The Gators are coming off a 13-day break from play due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols.
Florida sits at 6-4 in conference play, while Arkansas bolsters an 8-4 SEC record.
In their last game against Mizzou, 4 Razorbacks scored in double figures. Forward Connor Vanover scored an efficient 12 points in 12 minutes played. Justin Smith led the team in scoring, dropping 19 points on 6-10 shooting.
Eric Musselman and the Razorbacks basketball team will take on the Florida Gators on the hill tonight at 6 p.m. on ESPN2.
