STORYLINES

Taylah Thomas was simply unstoppable on the glass against New Orleans, pulling down 21 rebounds in her first game of the season.
Thomas nearly broke Arkansas’ all-time record for total rebounds in a game, but she fell one short of Shelly Wallace’s record (22, vs. SMU, 2/13/88).
Despite falling short of the all-time milestone, Thomas bested her previous career highs in total rebounds (21 vs. 12), defensive rebounds (14 vs. 9) and offensive rebounds (7 vs. 6).
Thomas joined exclusive company with her 20+ rebounds, becoming just the fifth Razorback ever to grab 20 or more rebounds in a game.
The most recent 20+ rebound performance prior to Thomas actually also came against New Orleans, when Melissa Wolf brought down 20 boards against the Privateers on December 30, 2015.
Dating back to last season, Arkansas’ 49 rebounds were the most in a game for the Hogs since they pulled down 52 against UAB.
Chelsea Dungee continues to score the ball for the Hogs, picking up right where she left off in game one of the 2019-20 season.
Going back to last season, Dungee has now scored in double-digits in 18 straight contests.
Dungee has scored 20+ in 21 of her 38 games since arriving in Fayetteville.
Dungee continues to be excellent at getting to the free throw line.
She shot 13 freebies against New Orleans, making ten of them. It was the eighth time in her Arkansas career where she has made 10+ free throws in a game.
Dungee broke the Arkansas record for free throws made in a single-season last year, putting down 229 of them. She also broke the free throws made record for both a single game (17) and in a quarter (nine) against Auburn last season.
