Preview: Arkansas Looks to Continue Hot Start at Ole Miss OXFORD, Miss. (Interstat) — The surging Arkansas Razorbacks visit the Ole Miss Rebels on Wednesday night in a Southeastern Conference men’s basketball matchup at The Pavilion. Arkansas (11-3, 1-0 SEC) enters riding a four-game winning streak, most recently an 86-75 home victory over then-Tennessee last Saturday. The Razorbacks’ offense has been potent, averaging 92.2 points during the streak. The Razorbacks are led by dynamic guard Darius Acuff Jr., who is averaging 23.2 points and 6.6 assists over his last five games. He scored 29 points with 4 assists in the win over Tennessee. Forward Malique Ewin adds an interior presence, coming off a 12-point, 6-rebound, 4-block performance against the Volunteers. Ole Miss (8-6, 0-1) seeks to rebound from a 70-86 road loss at Oklahoma on Saturday. The Rebels have struggled against high-major competition this season, posting a 1-5 record in such games. Guard Patton Pinkins provides offensive spark for the Rebels, erupting for 25 points in the loss to Oklahoma. His consistency will be crucial; he was held to a combined 4 points in 24 minutes across the two games prior to that outburst. Forward Malik Dia, who had 17 points and 6 rebounds against the Sooners, is a key secondary scorer. The matchup pits Arkansas’s high-octane attack, which ranks 8th nationally in scoring offense at 88.6 points per game, against an Ole Miss defense that allowed 86 points in its SEC opener. The Razorbacks have shown vulnerability, however, in an 85-94 home loss to Houston last month. Historically, Arkansas holds a 54-34 series advantage and has won three of the last five meetings. Last season, the teams split their regular-season series, each winning on their home court. For Ole Miss, a win would provide a crucial resume-building opportunity and open SEC play at home on a positive note. For Arkansas, it represents a chance to solidify its strong start and secure a valuable road conference victory before a challenging stretch that includes games at Auburn and against Kentucky. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. EST Wednesday.
