Auburn basketball vs. Arkansas: Scouting report, score prediction for Wednesday’s contest

[ad_1]

Finally, Auburn basketball is getting a breather from its SEC schedule. After taking down then-No. 2 Alabama over the weekend, the Tigers are returning home for a three-game stretch against Arkansas, Georgia and No. 24 Ole Miss, starting against the Razorbacks on Wednesday. (8 p.m. CT, ESPN)

It’s Arkansas’ first season under illustrious former Kentucky coach John Calipari. All in all, the results have been underwhelming. The Razorbacks were 11-2 through nonconference play and dropped their first five SEC games.

Since then, Arkansas is 4-3 against the league, including a road win over Calipari’s former employer, then-No. 12 Kentucky.

As Auburn gets ready to welcome Arkansas, Calipari and a roster of Razorbacks that has underachieved but is laden with talent, here’s everything you need to know about the matchup.

Injury updates: Auburn basketball vs. Arkansas

The Razorbacks will be without former five-star and McDonald’s All-American Boogie Fland, who’s a little more than a month removed from a season-ending thumb injury. He remains Arkansas’ second-leading scorer.

It’s worth acknowledging that Chad Baker-Mazara’s status is somewhat likely to be in question. He played 24 minutes off the bench against Alabama after being listed as a game-time decision. And he’ll have three days between games to see the court against Arkansas.
