NOTABLE

• Missouri is ranked No. 15 in the Associated Press Top 25 while Arkansas is unranked. The Razorbacks started the season at No. 16 but fell out before briefly reappearing after beating Michigan. Arkansas dropped out early into SEC play, which it began with five consecutive losses.

• Arkansas most recently lost to No. 1 Auburn 67-60 on Wednesday in Auburn, Ala., while Missouri defeated No. 4 Alabama 110-98 in Columbia, Mo., on Wednesday.

• Adou Thiero leads Arkansas in scoring with 15.8 points per game. Mark Mitchell leads Missouri at 13.3 points per game.

• Arkansas will be without starting point guard Boogie Fland for the ninth straight game. Fland had successful surgery on his right thumb and was reported by CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein to be out for the rest of the season. The Razorbacks said he is out indefinitely. Arkansas is 4-4 in eight games without Fland, its primary ball handler. He last played when the Razorbacks lost at Missouri on Jan. 18.

• Missouri’s Caleb Grill is thought to be the frontrunner for SEC Sixth Man of the Year. Grill is averaging 13.4 points and is 46% from three-point range.

• The Razorbacks are rated No. 37 by KenPom. The Tigers are No. 13.

• Arkansas is thought to be on the NCAA Tournament bubble, with ESPN analyst Joe Lunardi having the Razorbacks as the last team in the field in his latest projection.
