Hogs Win a Close One

Arkansas won a close one on Friday night as they defeated Missouri 70-64 to advance to the SEC Tournament Semifinals. This also extended the Hogs’ current SEC win streak to 12 games in a row.

The Razorbacks were treated to a brilliant performance from SEC Sixth Man of the Year JD Notae as he scored a game-high 27 points which included 9/16 shooting, 4/7 from three. Notae also had 4 rebounds and 4 assists for the Razorbacks.

Arkansas also had two more players in double-figures, while Missouri got production from almost everyone, partly due to foul trouble-causing role players to play more minutes.

The Razorbacks continue to win and are arguably the hottest team currently in college basketball. Can Arkansas get one more win on Saturday to advance to their first SEC Tournament Championship Game since 2017?
