FAYETTEVILLE – The 24th-ranked Arkansas Razorbacks will host the Florida Gators on Tuesday (Feb. 16). Tipoff is set for 6 pm (CT) and the game will be televised on ESPN2.

This will be the 39th meeting in the series. The Gators are the Razorbacks’ second-most, infrequently played team in the SEC (behind South Carolina at 35). The Gators own a 26-12 advantage in the series with all meetings coming since Arkansas joined the SEC. However, the Hogs own a slight 8-7 advantage in games played in Fayetteville.
Arkansas has lost three straight in the series, 11 of the last 12 and 17 of the last 19.
With six straight SEC wins, Arkansas shot up the national polls this week, landing at #24 in the Associated Press poll and “#28” in the USA Today/Coaches poll. It marks the first time Arkansas has been ranked since Jan. 6, 2018 when the Razorbacks were #22 in the AP.
This is Arkansas’ first six-game, SEC win streak since winning seven-straight SEC games in Feb. 2015. The Hogs also won seven-straight SEC games to end the 1994-95 regular season.
After wins at Kentucky and Missouri, Moses Moody was named the College Sports Madness SEC Player of the Week for a second time this season.
In 6-of-the-last-7 games, Arkansas shot over 43 percent from the field each time and has combined to shoot 48.4% (182-376) in those six contests.
