NOTES:

• This will be the third meeting between Arkansas and UNC Greensboro and the second in as many years. The Razorbacks won the previous two meetings ­— 89-74 (12/1/01) and 65-58 last season (12/6/22).
• The first meeting, which would be Nolan Richardson’s 500th career win, was highlighted by Jannero Pargo’s 19 points and 18 points from J.J. Sullinger. Both teams took 59 shots with Arkansas making 30 and UNCG making 20. The Spartans kept it close though by making 13 3-pointers compared to six by the Hogs.
• Last year, then #9 Arkansas rallied from a five-point halftime deficit (25-20) to win 65-58. The game was marred when Trevon Brazile went down midway through the first half with a season-ending knee injury. The Razorback second-half rally was led by Nick Smith Jr., who scored 16 of his 22 points in the second half. Also aiding in the win were double-doubles from Makhi Mitchell (13 pts & 14 rebs) and Davonte Davis (10 & 10).

• Davonte Davis is 34 points from 1,000 for his career.
