FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The No. 20 Razorbacks men’s basketball team moves to 8 straight SEC wins after last night’s 15-point victory over the No. 6 Alabama Crimson Tide.
The game was the first time since 1998 that there has been a top-20 matchup in Bud Walton Arena.
It was a stellar game for Moses Moody, who put up a game-high 24 points.
Moody earned 16 of his 24 points at the free-throw line, drawing 9 fouls on the game.
5 Razorbacks scored in double digits, and forward Justin Smith put up an 11-point 12-rebound double-double. Smith’s 12 boards were a game-high.
The Razorbacks shot 46% from the floor for the game.
On the defensive end, the Hogs held Alabama guard Jaden Shackelford, who averages 14.6 points in his college career, to 5.
3 Alabama players scored in double-digits with forward Jordan Burner scoring the team-high 14 points.
The Hogs look to keep their SEC streak rolling as they take on an unranked LSU Tigers team this Saturday (Feb. 27) in Bud Walton Arena with an early 1 p.m. tip.
