FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (Interstat) — A pivotal Southeastern Conference men’s basketball clash features two ranked teams looking to rebound when Vanderbilt visits Arkansas on Tuesday night at Bud Walton Arena. The Commodores (16-2, 4-2 SEC), coming off a 98-94 home loss to Florida on Saturday, face their first true road test in conference play. Vanderbilt’s high-powered offense, which averages 86.2 points per game, will be orchestrated by standout guard Tyler Tanner. The sophomore is averaging 21.1 points and 6.9 assists over his last seven games, including a 29-point, 7-assist performance in a win over Alabama on Jan. 7. Arkansas (13-5, 3-2) also seeks to bounce back from a road defeat, falling 90-76 at Georgia. The Razorbacks are a formidable 9-1 at home this season, with their lone loss an 85-83 decision to then-Houston. They are led by dynamic guard Darius Acuff Jr., who is averaging 21.5 points and 6.7 assists per game. Acuff recorded a 29-point game against Tennessee and a 13-assist outing against South Carolina earlier this month. The matchup pits Vanderbilt’s efficient scoring against an Arkansas defense that allows just 68.2 points per game at home. The Commodores’ two losses this season have come in their last two games, signaling their first adversity. Arkansas has shown volatility, with a 35-point win over South Carolina followed by a 22-point loss at Auburn last week. History adds intrigue, as the home team has won the last six meetings in this series. Vanderbilt last won in Fayetteville in 2017. A win for the Commodores would solidify their top-10 standing, while the Razorbacks aim for a resume-building victory to climb the SEC standings. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. EST. The game will be televised on the SEC Network.
